Are these authentic Carlsson?

For anyone that has been looking for these, please look at this auction.

Are these authentic Carlsson? Are these the so called Carlsson RS kit? Please help if you know. Thanks ahead of time.

guys,

can u help me out with this? i asked the ebay seller about the mounting hardware for the Carlsson kit if it's included and this is his reply...is this true? attached is a copy of the reply from his email.



"yes, but i can not send you the hardware.... carlsson's body-kit hardware are glue...... 99% of the german body-kits are glued-on..... for the last 2 years, i found out that if you glue the body-kit, it can not be removed, you need to pretty much destroy the body-kit if you need to take them off or if you sell your car, the only things you need to put the kit on is 3M double-side tape and stainless-steel tapping screws.... body-shop wll have these materials on hand.......and they don't cost alot of money, the screws will run you about $5.00 for a bunch and the tape is around $45.00 for a roll that can be use upto 4 cars...."
