THAT IS TERRIBLE. TRY CONTACTING AUTOCOUTURE AND SEE WHO ELSE DISTRIBUTES IN THE US.

Sorry to hear that Alex. Looks like their distributors are ditching them all around the world - even here in HK. I wanted to order some wheels before and my guy kept discouraging me, syaing their products aren't worth the money we need to pay. Sad.......

IF PETE CAN'T GET IT, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHO COULD. TRY ASKING THE INDOS FOR REPLICAS OR SOMETHING.

You're falling into the same predicament I was in 7 months ago. Hope you don't get left with just AMG like I was............

2 or 3 weeks is pretty quick for anything that's imported. it took me well over a month for some sideskirts.

you'll probably wait longer than 2-3 weeks for a reply from AC.

True that. Even with airfreight from Germany it took me a few weeks until I finally saw my Carlsson bumper, remember.

Doc

Thanks...much appreciated specially from someone who drives a P.I.M.P car like yours...that big brake kit "Rocks"...really like what you've done to your car, now just throw in a CF splitter and your good to go:p

It's a Brabus...since this CF spoiler for the AMG kits was never marketed in the US I contacted their office in Bottrop...and they located it for me, shipping cost a Bit*ch though.

Just coming back from an Asia trip I did see one in Japan...can't distinguish if it's authentic or not but quality was very good...it's just ashame that we don't share the many products they have...maybe it for the better, otherwise we all be flat-broke

Brabus NA does have a CF splitter that they use on the EV12...good quality & price, well it's a "Brabus price" Have you looked into it?? F-Class in Japan produces CF spoilers for the E Class also.

Richard, I'm looking into a CF splitter for my car. I was gonna custom make one myself, but if there's one already made then why not. then again, I can get mine for about $150-200.

The guy claims its a Wald Version 2 (see pic below) but well spotted Doc, I reckon he's put the wrong pic in his thread - the fogs are different and the grille looks MY00+ but similar nonetheless ........(someone trying to mislead potential buyers??????.....):
