I don't think felix is a sponsor anymore, so I'm sure it will hard to organize a group buy. Also what does everone do with there side markers, I noticed that none of the RS bumpers have cutouts for the side markers?? If you eliminate them doesn't it make the warning show up in the display???

Thanks for the info, I was trying to figure out what everyone does. I have contacted felix a few times over the last 2 months. He takes a while to respond, or he just doesn't seem trustworthy now. He seems shady. I know he wasn't before. But from his emails, he seems busy or preoccupied.

I have been talking to the guy from for my mercedes dot com . Jerry says he has someone down in florida, that makes quality stuff. Let me email him right now, and I will let you know what he says. He lives right by me, so I might just stop by.

I bumped into this car in a gas station in new jersey over the goethals bridge... PRIDE is the name of this guy's company in brooklyn. They custom built the fenders and as for that bumper... it sort of look like the creative one but it might be a creation of their own also
i think his company is more for ricer cars (he was asian)... and i drove by his shop one day (he gave me his business card which i have since lost) and there wasnt much goin on there so it looks like PRIDE lost its momentum in the aftermarket business market

This is the reply I got from Jerry at for my mercedes dot com
"No luck on this Bumper yet, to make Urethane Mold is very expensive about $18.000.00 for a Bumper, and that is cheap. So unless we can have some Firm orders at least 40, it does not pay to do"
I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I believe he knows his stuff.
