blackbenzz, your car looks pretty awesome for having fitment issues! Wish I could find a good fitting lorinser replica bumper, but you never know what your gonna get. I'd of bought one from felix but I hate all the shipping issues. Where else can I get one?

Thanks for the compliment Scott. Thats actually an old pic of my first carlsson rs front bumper (took me one month of cutting and fiberglassing to make it look like that). I later ordered one from Europassion and although it fit better, it was still not perfect. It might just be me, but the car is entered in some car shows and I guess I'm a little picky. There is someone on this board that is selling a used one but he is out in Cali. It has been molded to fit so I would recommend that.
I guess the best fitting kit out there is the authentic Lorinser kit. But be prepared to spend some serious $$$. I personally think the Carlsson RS is more agressive and I like it alot more, but thats just me.
If you guys find a kit that fits perfectly then let me know cuz I want one too!
Edit: I just remembered that there is a guy on this forum (rubberninja) that has a newer AMG lookin gfornt bumper that looked like it fit pretty well. Maybe you should contact him and seee where he got it. He lives in either jersey or NY. Good luck.

I learned my lesson the hard way......by the time you receive a brand new, replica Carlsson bumper...modify your bumper reiforcements, etc , etc etc, just to make it fit, and pay for the extra labor, you would have been able to purchase an AUTHENTIC Lorinser bumper for almost the same price w/ almost no fitment issues, and made out of a better material which will NOT crack every time you scrape.

there's no way this guy will be able to get his hands on an authentic RS front bumper.....
I know a shop owner who has access to an AUTHENTIC RS FULL kit....I already talked to him, and the price is $4000.00.
If you want to contact me, I can PM or e-mail you the shop owner's number.

Another CLK Blackbenzz? Lol!!! I told you that you had a modding problem. So bad in fact that it has manifested itself as a whole new car. I love it man keep up the insanity. Congrats on the new car what are the details on it? I know that youre gonna hook it up. Your modding was so much fun that now you wanna do it all over again.

CLK/ML
Lol! I admit that I have moditis. I bought a 01 CLK55 with Kleemann s/c, headers, ECU tune, LSD, springs, and some other goodies. I'm looking for wheels first (I want the Time Attack CE28N's), then I slap on the Brembo GT BBK I have for it and I should be receiving the c/f and leather mp designs steering wheel I ordered for it today. I'm workin on a cure though, 2 clk's is definitely crazy!
lol. Congrats man!! What color?

Sorry, I didnt mean to hijack this thread. To answer the questions: The new clk is black opal exterior, black interior with birds eye maple wood. And thanks. And yes I bought a 2nd benz. The silver one will be my daily driver and the new one is for fun. Acceleration from 70-120mph is scary fast!
