The one in the middle of the group shot is a perfect condition 500E. Absolutely stunning.

I like how the brabus lips look on the c-classes. Definitely a nice touch.

Are there any pictures of the 500E? lol

My hopes are that it WILL increase front downforce on the track reducing understeer and "catch" more air and force it over the intercooler. Easy tiger, call it Bling Bling again and I might rip it off and burn it.

I need to take some more pics and post. A few people have asked for fitment reasons. I ran a bead of silicone along the seem since I am tracking the car. It ISN'T show quality, but fitment is nice. It sticks out some making it obviously an add-on in IMO, and not as good looking as it could be.

I am hoping I will run into the 500E owner Friday night and be able to take some pics in sunlight.

It's just not my thing. I've seriously contemplated removing the Brabus badge from the lip. I like my car, like to go to the track, enjoy driving. I don't enjoyed being stared at for flashy add-ons or booming systems, etc. The less attention paid to me the better. I actually miss my C7s because less people would pay me any mind on the road. After the black wheels, I noticed a lot more people looking, now with the lip and the black wheels, a lot of people look when I go by them, if I am at a light, people stare when they walk by in parking lots, etc. The extra attention leads to theft, provocation to street race, and me getting slapped by my fiance because some chick is staring at the car... all things I don't need

I bought it used but there are tons of people who can get these. Neal with the C55 has access to these I believe for very reasonable prices. Harris as well, and others.

I got it used from a friend with minor paint scrapes. You can find them used sometimes, not sure what they go for new. I didn't pay much considering it was already color matched to my car. Not going to kiss and tell though. They still aren't cheap.
