I would stay away from purchasing from them if i were you. Google them and you'll know why. I used to buy from them when i had an e92 and their customer service was horrible. Never replied me when i bought one of their replicas that had fitment issues. After weeks of waiting, they finally replied saying it was install error... I HAD a professional body shop install it!

Good heads up ^^^^
Speaking of the part itself I like the centre bit of the trim as it provides a nice cover for that part of the front lower bar without having to paint it black to achieve that finish but not the outside edges of the trim, that part of it looks odd to me
Would be nice if someone made a cover trim only for the centre bit similar to the OEM AMG trim of the C63 variant

Your c350 is bada$$!!! I also live in MD, I definitely would like to meet up and see your car in person.
I like the lip, revisit this thread in a month and let us know how the lip is holding up. The price is good.

For those about to order, fitment is not perfect; however my body shop did a great job of getting it to look correct. Lucky for me, my body shop knows the one of the guys in JL i believe (or a distributor of this lip) and got it for a little cheaper.

Did you have any fitment issues or had to go to a bodyshop for modifications? If not I may place an order plus I have a bodyshop hook-up if I need to change something or the lip starts discoloring.

Here's how my lip looks for those interested. TBH I think the quality is pretty good. To my knowledge, yellowing is caused by the clear coat hazing so a body shop could easily sand and re-clear if necessary. Also if you constantly garage / shade your car you should be fine from yellowing.
I am not sure if you guys can see it but my lip did require a silicon black gel/glue type of thing to make to fill in the the gaps.

Can you be a little more specific? Are there alignment issues and gaps that look horrible between the body of car and lip? Can two sided double tape fix the issues without gluing the lip to the car?

I would not recommend double sided tape. You risk the lip falling which could end up damaging a lot more than just a bumper. Secondly, for my lip there was minor gaps so it had to be filled in with a silicon glue/gel thing (since I wanted it to look OEM, I believe you can see some gap in the OP's first post [last picture]) However, you may have a better fitting lip sinces molds from body kits differ. I would recommend that you have a professional body shop install it, installation should around 100 dollars.

Andres...despite what everyone is talking about the JLmotoring customer service, I may buy this lip since the price is good. I really don't care about customer service as long as the part came in without being damaged and fitment is good.

thanks for sharing the video, I saw this on eBay and email the seller because he only said it will fit the 2012 sedan with AMG sport package but I thought our coupe uses the same body kit??
