Yea i think i posted to one of your threads a long time ago about all the problems i was having with savini. Had to send them back 4 times and took 7 months to finally get all the problems with them resolved and in the end they never did own up to the bad chrome job on one of the wheels. had to send it out to someone else to get it re-chromed. I love the look but ill never buy anything from them again.

Got it from revozport. its an oem sl63 bumper with their diffuser. I know they have gotten some bad publicity on the forums from some members but I had a great experience with them. Only issue was the CF spoiler which they tried to correct the issue twice then just offered my money back in full. I am very happy with them.

Yeah, I think I recall. Mine were pretty much perfect. The only issue was 1 of the connecting rivets (on 1 wheel) was somehow left chrome, instead of black like the others. I was immediately sent out a replacement rivet and a spare.

Haven't had any issues since.

Yep, it would've been. But not nearly as funny.

Yea thats on my list of things to do still.

its the 3M CF vinyl wrap. Couldnt find anyone to do a drycarbon wrap on the parts so decided to give the vinyl wrap a try. Im pretty happy with it for the most part although i think ill only get about a year and a half out of it before it needs redoing. Buy then ill probably have moved on to an sl65 and a widebody.
