Haven't bought anything from him. He hasn't sold a whole bunch, but has a good amount of positive feedback. Good luck

Go with CarKing, their products are great, but the paint job is so-so.

I've read not so good reviews about CarKing from this forum. Most of them due to bad packaging and untimely shipping. Do a search. You'll read about the safety box story. And like you said, it's a so so paintjob. Wouldn't it just be better to buy a kit that's primered and just have a local body shop work on it instead? If you look for a seller LED4YOU, he sells the primered kit for pretty cheap. I think it was like $140 for both pieces. Something along those lines. I didn't buy a kit from him but I bought a black matte front grill and it arrived in a timely manner and decent packaging. It was $65. I haven't install the grill yet. There's also a DIY guide for both if you want to save more money. I've read that the roof spoiler is easy but the trunk spoiler takes a bit more time. Here's a great guide subarashi http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry598934 .

I got mines from him...

Actually for the price you are paying you get a decent product and the paint matches. The fitment is 8/10 and the shipping is very fast (6 days in my case).

The glue that he provides with the wings is urethane and it is the one that car manufacturers use to glue the windshields...very effective on glass or metal.

My rear window spoiler came with the 3M tape stuck to it and the rear wing came with nothing (I had to go buy some tape...his add might be misleading).

The paint was a 8/10 match as well...if you look carefully, you can notice a slight difference but you have to keep in mind, my car is 4 years old.

Overall, I would get my wing from him again.

Hope it helps,

Freddy

I just received my acs kit yesterday and it was very well packaged and was shipped priority. They looked perfect and came with 3M tape! The best deal on ebay IMO:

Good luck!
