I'm starting to like hamman body kit, and maybe will pick em over M-kit. But as you all know, the price for a full set is waaaaay more than an M-kit. So i was wondering if there's a replica?

Nope, no replica as of yet. But I am seriously debating purchasing one and then making a replica. I don't know how many people would be interested in that. I was going to go talk to a couple of my friends that work at a body shop and see if it would be possible.

I'm sure lots of ppl would be interested. M-kit is getting too popular. Everyone has it now. Hamann replica would offer a nice option for ppl looking for a new look without having to spend $4000 (how much is it for a full kit anyway?)

I don't know how much the full kit is, but your $4000 guess isn't far off I'm sure. The front is $2000 alone, and I wouldn't be suprised if the sides weren't $500 each and the rear wasn't another $1000. Then you have to paint it and install it, there's another $1000. It's ridiculous really, it's just plastic, it's not that hard to make, what's the big deal? Sorry, just a little venting. It is one sexy piece of plastic though.

I'm sure there are replicas in Thailand. I could try to find it for you guys, if you're interested...

Whats the original price? I'll try to make some calls and find out. Do you guys want the full bumper or just the add-on kit?
