Alright, I've been contemplating for awhile on if I should buy a body kit or not. Thing is I have a pair of w210's and I cant do just one so I'm thinking get the cheaper fiberglass replica, mold a cast from it, and produce a copy... viola! I got a pair right? Well, I'm thinking if i have enough carbon fiber I'll make one kit out of carbon fiber.

Now since I'll be making a cast, I'm wondering if anyone here would be interested in a kit? The cheapest replica I can find will run a little under $1000 including shipping (fiberglass). After I make a completed copy I can determine how much it would cost me to make in carbon fiber, and for those who want to save money, I'll calculate the cost of making a fiberglass replica. I'm not looking to make a killing on profit, maybe tack on $100 for time and labor? especially since I dont specialize in kits or offer warranties, etc. Of course, individual parts can be sold separately.

So my question is, what specific kit would most of you be interested in? Does anyone have any unique bodykit idea they would like to implement? Is it worth it or just another crazy idea?

If you copy someone's kit, then sell it for profit, you are getting into some legal issues there my friend!

if you gonnago through all the effort of making a cast, then why not create something custom, like the e55 style front and rears for the w210. i think it would look awesome.

Copy the new black series kits and modify them for the w210, or you cant go wrong with carlsson or wald for our cars.

thanks for the responses fellas. I'm partially familiar with some of the kits mentioned but not all. Any links with pictures would help. Like I said, creating the molds would be a chore but at least they'd be usefull to several of us here. If anything I can lend out the final molds and you can create or modify to your own style.
