Can Anyone get Lorinser Front Bumper for CLK430 Cab?

I would like to get Lorinser front spoiler (bumper) which has two biggo headlights, and the local shop quoted me $1700!!

Why is this so expensive?

Can anyone get them for cheaper price? or
Does anyone have this one for sale?

BRABUS front spoiler is only $500-$600 and AMG cost $700 and Carlsson might be little cheaper.... but what's wrong with LORINSER? $1700 for just front spoiler is way too much.. don't you guys think so?

WHO HAS LORINSER FRONT SPOILER FOR CLK???????

Brabus and Carlsson make addon lip spoilers (which require the 320 front bumper), which is why it is cheaper than Lorinser. AMG makes thousands of them, so it is easily to recoup their costs. Lorinser has a limited client base, and thus must charge more to make the same as AMG would. Obviously, there is a Mercedes markup in the price, but $1700 is not a bad at all.

On the other hand, my front bumper is less than $900

I have them, but yes, retail is 2051, 1700 is not a bad price at all.

Just FYI, fog lights are an extra 401!!!!

oh... I guess that the person was not trying to rip me off... I was asking because I don't know much about cars... especially about the mod. I didn't notice that the Lorinser is that *expensive* This is my first time getting bodykits, so obviously, I wouldn't have any knowledges.

I should think about Lorinser front spoiler.. as this cost $1700 + installation and paint.

Can anyone recommend me any kind of bodykits?

The only reason that I am trying to get Lorinser is because of my rims. I am trying not to mix up everything.

ANY IDEA?

Currently I have,
AMG BODYKITS (Factory)
AMG Dual Exhaust system
Lorinser Scoop (speedester bumper).. on order
Lorinser Rear Trunk Spoiler.. on order


Gotta change my front bumper, because I cracked little.. nothing serious.. but rather have a new one than fix it.

GIVE ME SOME ADVICES!!

I'm biased, but I think that my Expression body kit is the nicest. You can see pictures in my gallery here:

Blackbaby: are you sure that the $1700 has the fog lights included? Which model are you asking for the Lorinser?
