W124
You'll get the same look as an original kit from the manufacturer but you need still need to do some slight fitment and bondo work to the kit to make it work. The reason they're so cheap is because they'll buy the original kit from the company and copy the mold. Kinda what happened to the Mugen body kits for the 88-91 Civics/CRXs that were rebadged the RS or "tuner" body styles. When I lived overseas they had a lot of these copy cat body kits all over the place. Nothing wrong with using them, you just have to remember you get what you pay for.

The replica kit and the real Wald kit look slightly different. The replica kit sits lower and doesn't flow as well in to the rest of the body. Seems to me they took the w140 kit and modified it . I recently had the replica kit on my car, looked like hell. I didn't even drive the car with the kit on. I should have the new REAL kit on by the weekend. I'll post some pics.
The replica kit took a ridiculous amount of time to fit the car and make it straight. So what you save by buying a replica kit you spend on having your body shop make it work.
The real kit was extremely smooth and ready to go into the spray booth.

Don't even think about it. That's just Fergus & his brother under another alias trying to sell their junk. They're also under Euro-Passion and I forget their other alias's they have so many. They promise you the world and sell you junk. The real Wald kits for the W124 don't cost as much as they used to. You can get it from TWS in Walnut for around $1,500. I'd rather spend the few extra bucks and get the real thing and piece of mind.
