dealer pricing on AMG side skirts Coupe

Does anyone have official dealer pricing on AMG side skirts for a coupe? I saw a website on parts.com who had them for $184 a side, does that sound correct? I believe it was Kraft Motor Cars.

if you can get authentic CLK430 sideskirts for 184 each side, jump on it. I believe LIST price is closer to $700 per side if i'm not mistaken.

Wow, i see what you're talking about, $184, dang. Im having trouble believing this tho, seems too good to be true! You do have to buy fastening hardware and clips separately but that only drives up the cost to around $200. I tried calling them with no answer, if this is legit i think its going up next on my mod list.

just be careful...there's never any way to tell what you're getting before you get it. you might be saying - well, of course...but it is often true that if something seems too good to be true, it often is. just remember all those cars on ebay people bought that weren't even for sale.

just a word of warning...it would be a shame to think you're getting something cheaper and either get pieces of crap, or get nothing and either way be really disappointed and/or have to spend the $700 per side or whatever anyway.

just a warning - might be better to save up to buy from a reputable dealer.

This is their information

Kraft Motorcar Company
3525 NW 97 Blvd
Gainesville , FL 32606

Phone: 352-332-7571 x104

And the link

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...01&catalogid=2

Any Floridian members want to chime in on this dealer? I myself will be calling them tomorrow. Worse comes to worse I can always file a chargeback.

Beshoff has them listed for $246 a piece here...

Could it be that Mercedes realized their AMG body parts were insanely overpriced at one point?

Consider its AMG.... its not insanly overpriced..if not how do AMG distinct themselves out from the ordanary.

Just like here in the US., every 430 has AMG body kit.... I really hated it!!!

Sometime I saw cars with AMG emblem on the trunk., I would always go towards them and ask them which part of your car is AMG

Haha, the age old debate. In my opinion, handbuilt engine signed by an AMG technician under the hood=true AMG. However, since AMG was originally a german tuning company just like Kleeman, Renntech, and Carlsson are now i dont see anything wrong with putting wheels, body kits, trim, shifters, interiors, or anything else AMG on a non-amg car. But this has to be viewed in a proper perspective, you would probably laugh at someone who had a Brabus badge on their car if all they had was wheels, it seems like you need more than just that to justify a badge, i think the bar is even higher with AMG because of their connection to MB. What perplexes me is why someone would want to put MORE badges on their car, im a big fan of the clean look.

You got it twisted. $1500-1900 for a front OEM bumper is insane. An M3 bumper costs less than half that. At least thats what the bumpers used to cost. I'm not talking about putting a badge, i'm just saying I want to put on an AMG bodykit on my CLK320 to make it more visually appearing, no badges involved. I also know it used to be around $700 for a single amg side skirts. Again, I think $1400 on a pair on sideskirts is alot to pay for an OEM kit.

Kraft Motorcars is a real shady place. They said their online prices might be a little off when I spoke to them, so I asked him to give me the price and his answer was no, I can't do that now I have to look it up with ur VIN which is BS.

From what I've heard Beoshoff is a legit dealer. I still wouldn't mind paying 246$ each for a legit pair of side skirts.
