I have the MBautosports front end. I like it. Mine was one of those that fit perfectly. The only problem i had was two corners were chipped off. When it arrived it was shrunk alittle. Typical of fiberglass after it was just molded and not dried. I simply put it in the sun for three days and it fit perfectly. I have a Greddy FMIC in mine and I am getting ready to take it back off and put CWC oil coolers in this will finish my front. See attached. By the way everyone is right about dealing with MB, they are kinda a PITA. By the way I know they just fired several sales guys something about missing cash. Maybe the service will get better and more reliable.

I was talking about side skirts. I want to keep the front. Sorry if I caused some confusion. Believe it or not I actually like it.

Does the Mb copy look exact or is it altered from the GT-C design?

My piece of **** GTC replica is going in for the 3rd time. The light covers did not even fit, fit was horrible, paint bubbles and so on. I am going to spend at least double what i paid to get the thing to look decent. If you are going to buy a knock off make sure someone else on the forum has bought one. I would NOT buy a KO again.

If you ask most places to remove the pic then they will, but they could be dicks about it and make you take legal action to get them to remove it.

I agree with sub-zero. Having bought a cwest replica bumper from them, I had several shops quote me 2x to 3x more for reshaping/reworking/installing the bumper.

In the long run, it's not worth it.

But, there are some guys out there who have been successful in making replicas that fit well. I suppose one of us always has to "take one for the team" and spend the money to see if it fits--all we can hope for, is to keep posted on who to stay away from and who make good kits.

I, for one, suggest not to get the cwest replica bumper from them.

I think they're both the same design. I bought mine used a while back. I THINK it's actually a Mazdaspeed though.

MB auto is not the only place that has that style front end. I am not sure of the manufacturer, but I know that that bumper is manufactured by other companies also. I have one for sale now, but haven't mounted it. It looks exactly the same as the MB auto style. The fitment looks good by eyeballing it, but there is no way to tell for sure without actually mounting it.

Thanks It's CF here's an interior pic but it's not completed (speakers and Gtech dangling,dirty,stock radio etc...) It's painted the same as the outside. I know it's a crappy pic i hope to have more posted later.

Interseting..Black doors but tan seats and carpets. I've yet to see rhyme or reason to the interior color layouts on Fds.
Yup looks like my car used to.
