where cn i get the rear and the side skirts.thanks

I Have a C36 Rear, if this goes well i will be replicating that too for the same price. As for the Sideskirt, i don't know yet b/c the cost per side is alot, so i don't really think it'll be worth it. Let me check with L&S first. Alternative is the updated skirts or paint the black part since the Front isn't that low.

I've used fiberglass kits from Bomex, and they aren't as fragile as people say. I've scraped the bottom on a driveway without affecting the rest of the bumper. You should really avoid running over tires regardless of what front bumper you have. Paint chips are mostly determined by the quality of the paint. You can't spend $200 on paint and expect it to be as good as stock. The cars with fiberglass bumpers we've sent through Little John's Bodyworks have not suffered from any rock chips, cracking, or fading, but expect to pay $500-700 to properly paint the bumper.

They are in Production. I'll keep you guys updated. I am guessing mid December they'll be ready for shipping/pickup.

This is the brabus bumper. Now look at your bumper (i wont address sport bumpers here. we're talking elegance) Notice that most of your bumper is body colour and the top portion is gray (or some other colour and it has chrom trim on it as well. Well that different colour and chrome trim comes off. And you put this part along with the assorted bumper guides onto the brabus bumper and there ya have it.

Now for the model updated ppl.

Your bumpers are ugly (yes they are get over it) and they are also bigger. The brabus bumper was designed for the cooler and tighter fitting pre updated bumper. You can fit your top portion to the brabus bumper but be forewarned... it will stick out more and have some overhangs on some parts simply because the model updated bumper is bigger.

Here is a model updated 202 with brabus bumper.



Now here is my pre updated car with preupdated top portion with brabus bumper.



Tighter to the body and better looking.

So it will work regardless of what bumper you have. If you bring it to a body shop they can figure out how to mount it. If you do it yourself it would help that you have a better than surface understanding of bodywork to help you put it on your car.

Either way we should give props to 714 for doing this now its up to you guys to put your money where your interconnection meets the road.

Now 714 I better get a free copy

I want that !!! where do i buy ? and how much is the breakdown ? like skirts and each bumper seperate. let me kno. thanks.

I am currently geting the Front made right now, and that is $300 + 150 if you want a CF lip. I also have an AMG C36 rear, that i would make if there is enough interest. For the side skirts, I am trying to find a better source, b/c if i made those they would cost way too much. If you want the front let me know, email me 714guy at sbcglobal . net. I should have some ready by mid-december.

I think they'll be to curvy for the brabus front. I'd try to find soem updated side skirts, those will probably be the best alternative.

[rollinrealbig]

if you post pix of the CF lip, that be cool.

also i want to see the rear bumper that you sell, and any side skirts too.


thanks!

I have not made the CF lip bumper yet. The rear that I *might* make and sell is the C36 AMG rear (same one on the silver car above). I dont have any side skirts at the moment, but i could get them made, but they will cost alot.

anyways here is a PS of what the CF lip would look like, you just paint the grey part the color of your car.

[rollinrealbig]

ummmm, i think i like it without the fiber...

[KenzBenz]

mmm looking hot, without the CF lip that is
but it might look better if the lip wasnt so big. Should make it like how E36 M3 bumpers have that small plastic trim underneath the bumper...

[rollinrealbig]

yea yea ^^^

that bumper really reminds me of the bumpers you see on 96' VW jetta.

my mom had 4 of them ... they all got totalled - thats crazy!

Well, I see what you mean, but you can paint it exposing as much or as little as you like. I might just have to make a splitter type thing.

[c_lee]

so have you made the replica kits and are selling them now?


if so how much?

splitter is a better idea i think, that way your not wasting carbon fiber when you are just gonna paint over it

[frankthetank_86]

So are they almost done already!!

[714guy]

Soon, i just talked to the shop today, the mold is done, so a few more weeks and i will have the bumpers. I'll keep you guys updated.

[714guy]

Updated, Got one piece today. After triming and fitting it will be going to Blink.

[714guy]

UPDATED: Pictures of it Trimmed and Fitted on Preupdated bumper. That'll be probably the last update for the next two weeks. I have to hit the Books. Email me if you have an questions, and I will try to respond ASAP. 714guy @ sbcglobal.net

Peace out.
