it's nice you guys are giving constructive criticism but lets keep in mind its already done so it really doesnt matter what you think or dont think. u like it, then buy it. if not then stop makin him feel like shit. it's the best looking lip kit out for our car regardless of whether it's "not rounded enough" or not.

guys you gotta wait and see until it's finished. you cant judge a product when its not even painted yet. of course its gonna look strange. wait until its painted. it will prob look sick.

At least I like it and it'll be on my car. But damn, its a real expensive kit if done like that. looks like I'm gonna only produce fewer than 25 and let those guys enjoy the exclusivity. We'll see what happens once it's painted and installed.

Oh man, definitely don't feel like you made a mistake. I think its awesome of you to give us another option to our limited choices. I really don't think the criticisms were intended to discourage (def not my intention). I just thought since it was before the product was finalized it would be good to get a few suggestions/opinions in there.

All of your other creations look great, so I look forward to seeing the completely finished product. Keep up the great work.

still loving it.....can't wait to get mine. In a way I hope Ron produces more than 25, but then part of me is say having a PDG CL with Ron's kit will truely make my car one of a kind.

He won't have the kit though. They're gonna need to have it to make the molds out of.

Yeah, thanks. I'm so friggin anxious to get the first 5 kits, Looks like it's gonna flow pretty well with that rounded corner. Still need as many orders as possible, we are just about halfway with the quantity of orders at $950. Once we hit the 25 mark, priceing will return to normal at $1090.

I dont think it will be that hard to sell 25 kits. There are many CL owners not on acurazine, and I get the feeling once there are magazine advertisements and people can see the kit in person, more will be sold. I think they're more people like myself out there who are into modding that could not afford the 6 speed cl when it came out, but now they are in lots off of the 3 year leases.
I am personally more excited to drive my car with your kit then I originally was when I first bought the car!

wow. I really like the new corner profile -- big thumbs up -- cant wait to see it done and colormatched on the car.

If I had that Kit in my city I'd be unique for sure, there isnt a lot of CL's kicking around up here

feel like a moron asking this question but does this kit REPLACE the front/rear bumper? or does it go over the existing?

Its just a lip kit, so you keep your original bumpers and sideskirts

Yeah, it covers most of the bumper, so it could potentyially hide some minor surface damage if there is any.

End of march huh! You are definetly the man ron! Just in time for spring up here when they start to get the salt off the road and i can bring my car out of storage in ny. The rounded corners look great, then again so did the original imo. Your dedication to us clr's and this project is truly amazing (alright i'll stop the d-riding). How 'bout a package deal with some inspyres? Can't wait to see it done bro, good work.

Defintely, I can't wait either, especially since I will be keeping the CL and hooking it up. If anybody has ever had a kit on the car and took it off for whatever reason, you will feel naked, car never feels the same. And like alwasy, whenever we have a repeat customer who gets a second product, there are discounts available in appreciation of your support.

Got some pics fom the roundeed front, def an improvement. See the acuracy of the engineer, an exact match with the curvature of the upper bumper for perfect matching flow. He made a template to work off of.

I know one thing, I don't care what nobody say, it better be over 25 kits made, cause if I can't be the first 25, I don't care if I do have to pay a G for it, I want it!!! Don't never let somebody get you down, You do what your heart and vision tells you do! I think the Kit looks sick, and I damn sure want one! I just traded my Auto CLS for a Six speed CLS! Im having fun wit my new ride now, but its needing something right now hmmmmmmmm......... I think its that kit! I cant wait for my tax return, all the money I get back going towards that kit thats for sure! You keep doing what you doing, You have great taste, and I hope better things from you in the future!
