Hey guys

I wanna pull the trigger on one of these, but I've heard they are a huge PITA to install (per ACG).

This is the model I want:

Per ACG you the body shop spent 5-6 hours installing it and had to trim to get a good fit. I totally trust their info, but I wanna know if maybe they got a bad sample?

Anyone else have experience with this lip spoiler? I'm set on this design, so I'm trying to decide whether to give it a go!

Thanks!

That is my black C63 in those pics. The funny thing is I have e real Arkym front lip. It is not the jL motoring, I bought there rear diffuser and they took some pics of my car.

On a side note the Arkym lip was easy to install and I had a body shop paint and install it. Took them around 45-1hr to install it. Fitment is near perfect except for just on the ends at the edge of the bumper near the side vents you can see a small gap not very noticeable.

I have the JL front lip. I didn't do the install, my bodyshop did but they told me it was very easy to install. The only issue with it was it overhangs the bumper at the wheel well maybe 5-10. Not a big deal and not noticeable but its the different between great and perfect fitment.

Here is the 2 pics I have of mine. I can get you more when I get the car back during the week.

It seems as though the overhang is intentional based off the pictures they advertise
