Thanks. I had the stock grill on there but it wasn't doin' nothing for me. I think this is a little sportier. I wasn't sure if I wanted to paint it red or not but it didn't come in chrome. I'll wait for the 4-fin to come out in chrome and then probably do that.

Thanks. Well, I'm waiting to see if someone comes out with a unique trunk lip spoiler. And I need a super charger...and Brembo big brake upgrade cause I just don't think the car stops fast enough. Then, I think I'll be done for a while...
Thanks for the love.

The front bumper was like $480 with the fog lights. I didn't wait for a group buy so I paid for all the shipping myself...that was $300 for shipping from Jakarta to Cali and another $65 to bring it to Minneapolis. We only had to pay $30.00 for the storing fee at the warehouse. We were lucky and didn't get charged anything for customes fees...not sure why. No install, cause I put it on myself. Once you get the factory one off, Felix's bumper went on easy. Paint was $400 for the front bumper. So thats about $1300.00 and worth every penny.
The back one is a whole nother story. I paid way too much from an e-bay scammer. But to put it simple...I paid $380 for paint and installed it myself. And I'm not a body man what so ever. I don't like to get my fingernails dirty.

Whats up Felix! You do nice work! So, let me know if you ever start production on the Hamaan on road kit for my wife's BMW X5.
And yes, those are dubs. It sounds like you don't care for them. I think they're like a work of art...20x 8.5 front 20x9.5 back. No rubbing, no steering wheel vibration...I love em.
It took me a while to figure out how to get pictures on here.

try to modify the rear bumper kYeah its not perfect. My car will be making a trip to the plastic surgeon at the end of the summer to get some touch ups. It was part of a 4 piece body kit that I bought on ebay for $1600. The rear bumper was the best fitment of all four so I threw the other 3 away. Its got 2 cut outs for exaust - thats what I liked the most about it so...Ill work with it.

felix is right, the back bumper looks pushed in between the vent areas. On another note, Felix, why is it that alll the kits are a lil short on the front driver side by the outside headlights. I can see it on cnolen's bumper, 2 of my carlsson kits are the same. Is the mold a lil off? dont get me wrong a lil bondo should fix that, but take a look at your mold, and notice where the bumper meets the headlight on the driver side, its a lil short, passenger side is perfect.

thats the input for me.I will check it again at my factory about that issue.
sometimes they pull out too fast from the mould..thats my assumption.
but again,I will inform my engineer to solve this matter ASAP.
thnx again for the input.appreciate it much
Now I remember,its because when my W208 were being fitted,I noticed that my headlamp are using the headchrome ring....
there is two possibilities! headlamp ring or pulling out too fast from the moulding.

I cant really see where its short. I think my amg didnt even fit that tight. Thats not an easy bumper to replicate because of the four lights. He did a damn good job, I aint trippin. And the back is slighty pushed in but its not that noticeable when you see it in person. Overall im very pleased with the way it looks despite some miner shortfalls.

I wanted my kit to be as close to perfect as possible, so I went with the molding route. I used all my stock mounting points, kept my bumper reinforcements, headlight washers, and was even able to keep my foglamp mounts which i mounted the new foglights to. Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome and I couldn't be happier.

Changing the size and pixels so I could attach them to the tread f***** with the quality of the pictures. Plus my computer is outdated. But you got the idea.
If I can get better pictures I'll post um.

The back bumper isn't a Carlsson. I didn't like that one. It's actually a Lorenzer bumper for the big body CL coupes. It was custom to fit the CLK. But I myself wouldn't work with that guy again. Bad fitment problems...poor customer service...etc.
Just thought you should know.
