install or paint & install???

I was charged $400 for paint & install, but, it wasn't the best paint job...
I later needed to get it slightly repaired & repainted, and that bill ran about $8-900....

I think a 'fair' price would be around $600 with paint....

Mercedes paint is higher than other paint. I paid $360.00 to have my front painted. I installed it myself. Did you find a good price on a rear DTM bumper? I was looking for one also.

I've just started looking for a bumper so no price yet. I also missed mentioning that it would be for labor and paint, black to be exact.

I just got a check cut to me for an AMG bumper so I have to come up with the difference.

Just ordered a new DTM rear from Performance Products. It was $1,840. The sales guy is shipping it for free. Now I will have a matching kit. My stock 320 front and rear is up for sale if someone needs it.


May need side skirts now. When will the money madness spending stop?

That is a good price. I was quoted quite a bit more for it and evosport lists it at $2121 if I remember correctly.

Make sure that price is correct. When the Euro changed the prices went up. When I called EvoSport it was @2400.00. They said they haven't changed the web site yet.

I keep hearing the letters "DTM" thrown around, I thought this was a racing CLK. Is it what lorinser calls their body kit or what?

yup.... Lorinser has 2 kits for the w208... the Classic, which is more subtle... and the DTM, which is more aggressive/dramatic...

The DTM kit by lorinser doesn't look like the DTM race car but it gives the clk a nice aggressive look.
