thanks!
I definitely do not recommend the double side tape thing. This is very simple to install. When you hold this up to the car it is almost not flush, you have to do one side at a time. Using double sided tape will not allow it to mount properly and the lip will never be straight on the car. All I can say is read the instructions and follow them. If you have someone else install it, make it clear to them to follow the instructions. It is very simple. Once you read the instructions the lip can be installed in 5 min. Very easy job.

If there is anyone in the NY/NJ area who gets their lip and wants to work on installing it together I'm totally up for it. Just PM or e-mail me and let me know when!

Neal, any way of getting an accent panel in carbon fiber created for the rear W203 AMG bumper. It would be that indented section of the rear bumper, some folks have either painted it or "decal" covered it. For all the other AMG models they come accented with a black plastic like cover. Getting one made in carbon fiber would be great, especially since it would match the front lilp. I'd be interested.

We were going to do that. Still might. But it got put off. We were going to do a rear CF diffuser. Although at this time, i really don't know when or even if it will be done.

Nice Job.
Can you post some pictures of the side edge of the lip which flushed with the bumper? I will install the lip tommorrow, but I still have no idea how to locate the ends of the lip.
Do you need to jack up the car for the installation? Any tips / precautions when you do the installation? What are the 3 pre-drilled holes on each side of the lip that never mentioned in the installation instruction?
Thanks.

My advice would be to not try it by yourself. Not that you can't, but easier with at least 2 people. Also, do it over a non-abrasive surface or put some old beach towels down at the area like I did. I dropped mine during a test fitment cuz I caught my finger on a edge (hurt like a bizzznitch). Scratch the bottom slighty.

Thanks for the photo. Now, I understand how the lip positioned at the bumper edge. It looks like the edge of the lip just slightly wrapped around the edge of the bumper.
Did you just put the jack under the front side of the lifting point of the car in order to lift up the car? I am planning to use the hydralic jack to lift my car up; however, I am still waiting my friend to come over to my place to give me a hand.

I just installed the lip on my car too. It looks much sporty; however, we need Neal to design the CF spoiler for our cars in the future.
Thanks Neal for all the customer / technical supports for this group buy!

Thanks, I thought the lip would hang lower but it sits perfectly. No ground clearance issue so far. Thanks again for a great lip Neal !
