I guess that's what the real deal is supposed to cost. A little too rich for my blood, but I'm sure there'll be takers. I usually look at mod prices with a "would I have paid that much more for a car that had that" attitude...like, for example, BiXenon headlights. Once a $400 option became available, I'm in. I think I'd sooner pay this place the $2000 than send all my wood trim pieces to G3 Composites LLC, that firm someone recently posted about that PM'ed me a $1250 quote to wrap my supplied parts (he dropped to $999 after I told him that forum-sponsor FXDesign asked $800

)

That price from FX seems really good, anyone remember what DCT was charging?

I feel like I saw somewhere that they were charging 1k for the w203 but Im not 100% positive. FX's price is extremely fair IMO

Hey Midnight, I thought you were gonna try that ~$300 stick-on stuff? Here's another I just stumbled upon, laser cut, in real metals or wood or CF. $152 and RETURNABLE other than shipping!!!

it says that in THE OTHER LASER-CUT KIT too, the one that Klinh put in his SLK, but that one was $300+, now $279, with a 15% restock fee. That's the one I linked in THIS THREAD originally, and I now notice that this one came up then too. I like that this one comes in so many options, like brushed aluminum, which is more OEM for a US CLK, or a really dark wood, like the black ash I have in my E350:
