You can get a Carlsson RS replica kit (my favorite) from Felix at Europassion. Several people have bought from him before, but I have heard mixed reviews of him. JoshK got his kit from Felix and was pleased, talk to him for more info.

Yeah, Replica perferred.,

Dosen't really want to spend that much on a kit....

I talked to Felix., I asked him for the detail shipping information., but he can never get back to me with the exact price.... . Plus I really don't want to see the kit being chopped in half from the shipping company....

any where local in the States?.....

gallan: Yeah dude., its stupid dude, that woman just can't stop for a red light., no idea what she was doing ..........

those mark dosen't seem that bad huh.., thank to the AMG bumper.... but I checked it myself., the reinforcment is bend.. the trunk is a little bit off and it almost get in to the frame...... .... Looks like 70% of the car has to be repaint,. (which is what I already been thinking of doing anyways).... Trunk, bumper, two rear quarter panel... I probabbly argue for the door repain too... (yep needed to reapaint all these to color match.... ) .....

I got a roughly estimate myself.... Exhaust, tail light., bumper, reinforcement.... if Its ALL stock AMG parts.. only the parts cost US3500..

plus labor .. looks like a $5000 fix... (feel sorry for that woman's insurnace company)...

Just wondering... if you go w/ a different bodykit.... is your car silver even better... is your car silver and convertible? I'll buy the front bumper and side skirts from you if so. Let me know.... is Steve in Cali right now?
