What do you think about this Carlsson RS Kit

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2429213780

Has anyone ever bought a kit from this guy? Thinking about buying a front and rear bumper from this guy for $600.

Contact Felix on the forums, he has the hook up to the kits. His name on the forums is dronellis. He's the only reputable person I know who sells replica Carlsson RS Kits.

i know the auction youve linked, guy periodically sells these kits, im pretty sure the fit of the kit is going to be about 50% of what you want. i do know for a fact that the pictures he uses are pirated off internet forums like MBWorld and that the pictures are not of the actually bodykit he sells. i would definitely second going through Felix (dronellis) as his kits are a good fit (i think he said about 95%) and he is up front and honest, and he can get very good prices.

not to put down felix & his product... but, he is out of the country, and takes a long time to get it shipped over here... and then, with all the freight & shipping, something might get broken, plus, shipping costs are pretty high.

lastly, i've heard from other people that felix kit doesn't fit that great either.

in any case, any replica kit will have issues fitting and will require some customizing & several man hours from the body shop, so don't expect it to be a cakewalk plug & play sorta thing...

felix's kit costs about the same as the one on ebay, except the one on ebay is local, well, at least for me...

Hey I know this guy...

I am friends with his brother. How come some of you say the kit doesn't fit properly? I haven't had any first hand experience but is it nothing the body shop can rectify?

guys first of all, if you guys want to make black CF or whatever color you want. basicly you guys have to sent me your Wood trims or you guys can buy another set and sent it to me. the only reason that I cant produce the CF trims for W208 is the wood trims panel is hard to be copy not like BImmers. i have E46 M3,coupe, sedan in replaceable trims.Iam producing Carbon Fiber engine cover which is one of my buddys has already has it from me(sponsor or prototype) I will be watching the demands when my buddys going to post the pic in this forum and let you guys see and what you guys think about it. so feel free to email for the pricing ok..
thanks

Felix
