Does anybody here have replica kits on their CLK?

If so, how is it?

fitment, that is the major problem...

most won't fit right will require some "minor" modificatin...

and some will just be a little smaller....

Aftermarket bodykits are usually made of fiberglass, which is weaker. Almost all aftermarket bodykits need to be shaved and prep before fitting on the car, so you're paying a lot for the labor instead of the kit itself. Factory bodykits are well fitted so you save some $$ on the labor.
