Godhand front lip...don't like it! It's so heavy! Any lighter front lips?

I just purchased the Godhand front lip. What a heavy piece of fiberglass! Surprised the front bumper doesn't fall off for some of you who have installed.
Any pics of underneath showing how you managed to install? I know about self tapping screws...but why does it come with a hollow midsection? For those who have it, is your the same? Why not just have it one piece and have it screw on?

Also, any other lighter front lips recommended?

I might continue to go without just because I don't want some cheap fiberglass hanging off the front...

The Mode Carbon BS-look front lip is super light. Also super easy to shatter into a thousand little sharp shards. It's a tradeoff.

Yeah....I see your point. I gotta look to see if its for Pre-Facelift...
But this Godhand lip is an absolute piece of crap. I though it was a slim light weight piece that is one piece and screws on....its a two piece of heavy fiberglass glued together with some BS carbon over lay...

I have a bath front lip on my 2010 C63. Its pretty light and sits a little higher than the god hand front lip. Had to get that off Ebay. Also APR performance has made a front lip for the prefacelift C63's even though its not posted on their website, just inquire and see if they'll make it. Looks pretty aggressive and track ready.

Zeph, wait till you hit the first curb
My godhand lip has gone through a lot and it survived.
The light CF lips are great but are more fragile. Also hitting a curb with a 600-1000usd front lip hurts.

Yeah i know Olszowa, I hear you on that. That's why I am tempted to just go without. Was your Godhand lip hollow in the middle and a very heavy two piece of fiberglass?

My personal fav is the Revozport lip for the C63. The full kit looks beautiful.

The one you have already does look good though...for the money and for the sake of not getting too upset when you scrape n crack the bottom (because if you daily your car in a city and it's lowered...it's bound to get damaged), you'll be glad that you've got the Godhand lip.

I know how this feels....my Revozport lip is cracked in multiple places in the lower regions....there's just no avoiding it in some scenarios

I just ordered this lip. Ill let you know how it fits as soon as i put it on.

I primarly ordered it because it looked clean and not overdone.

^^ this, I love my GodHand lip, looks awesome once installed & is strong as heck.

Cheap enough to trash it, so best bang for the buck!

Zeph, u can spend big $$ for a lighter lip like Revozport lip (1500$) but u will cry once u hit or scrape a curb lol

And yes all God Hand lips are hollow with pre- drilled holes to guide u where to put screws.

I managed to find a Piecha Lip in Denmark when I was there a few months ago. Brought it back home with me.

Its a rare find, but IMHO one of the cleanest (aesthetically) lips for the W204. Most of these lips are too gaudy for my liking.
