I got the total price for the Lorinser body kit (painted and installed), wheels and rims. Also, they would ship my car from VA to CA to do the install. Total Price = $25,000 (includes tax)

What do you guys think?

hlkc

Is it include the car? I'm kidding. Do you have the breakdown? 20"? Why ship the car to CA? CEC? Are they any good shops in VA or NY can do the installation? Last, you don't like the AMG kit, u just paid $5K for that?

Thanks,
hlkc

I ordered Carlsson kits (6 pcs AMG version), about $5800.
FYR ~~

mjeagent

Yes, it is with CEC. I don't know of any good shops in VA that I would feel comfortable enough to let them work on a $75k car.
Here is the breakdown:


Lorinser front bumper (incl. fog lamps) - $2,603.00
Lorinser side skirts - $740.00/ea
Lorinser rear bumper - $2,029.00
Lorinser rear muffler w/ split oval tips, chrome plated w/ logo - $2,873.00
Lorinser trunk lid logo - $28.00

Lorinser Type LM6 silver alloy wheels
9x20” – front axle - $1,759.00/ea
10x20” – rear axle - $1,949.00ea

Michelin PS2 tires
255/30R20 – front axle - $410.00/ea
295/25R20 – rear axle - $425.00/ea

Total w/out tax and shipping - $18,099.00

Paint and Installation
Paint for Lorinser aero kit including front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper - $1,500.00
Installation labor for Lorinser aero kit including front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper – 6 hours @ $105 per hour - $630.00
Installation mount and balance 4x wheels and tires - $35.00 per wheel & tire - $140.00

Transportation
We can setup vehicle transport to and from CEC Showrooom in West Los Angeles, CA - $1,700.00 each way - $3,400.00 round trip

I believe with taxes and everything, it adds up to around $25,000.

For all that money why didn't you just get a cls 55??

hlkc

mjeagent,

First and most formal, I think $25K for above is not worth it (IMO). If I want to add $25K into my CLS, I'll just sell the 500 and get the 55 instead. It might not look as good as yours in your opinion but it is going to be lot faster and much better resale value for sure! 2nd, not to metion you adding $25K now, you will get a hammer big time when you sell your vehicle one day. Last, if you plan to go for above package, PLEASE negotiate with them and of course compare to others. I'm sure there are plently of places in NY, VA, FL.. can do as good as CEC if not better. I can't believe they will charge you logos, installation mount and balance 4x wheels and tires for $25K deal. Last drive your car to NY, FL... fly back and forth pick up the car I'm sure it will be less than $3.4K.

Thanks,
