Is the ceramic tint the reflective type of tint? Wifey has a white C300 and don't like the dark tint on her white car...

BTW...Back in college, I used to roll in a GMC Jimmy with 1 JBL 18"...I used up the whole back...I "built" an enclosure from the inside with the sub firing down......What was I thinking? It goes to show you a little knowledge can be harmful and embarassing...

damn another lip out thats sad...

rocafel1a

ouch, that sucks roland.

if it makes you feel any better, I installed my cf front lip last night at a friends place, scratched it backing out of his driveway, and ended up curb rashing my 3 month old MRR wheels

Damn, that sucks . I remember when some idiot cut me off and I swerved and hit a curb.

Hey can you please tell me step by step how you put the lip. I still haven't put mine because I'm a little paranoid. I don't want it to fly off when i'm on the freeway. I heard screws and bolts should do the trick. Is that enough?

Thanks

soldier2304

Make sure you put as much screws as you can on that lip or you WILL lose it. I have lost 3 lips on the freeway in my C230 and just got my 4th one 3 days ago

W203E35

Thanks ...a lot of members had that happen also..I'm soo paranoid. By the way your C63 looks amazing

yo karo...

long story man...

First attempt: to save money, i had my friend do it with me. first, we put 2 jack stands under the front end of the car...drill holes first on the lip...James (JL MOTORING) gave me 10 bolts, so i put 4 in the middle, and 3 on each side. then have 1 person hold the left side, 1 person hold the right side...and have one more person drill 4 holes in the middle first...then align the left and rights...I tried that, and unfortunately, it was sooooooooooooooooooo off that it was flimsy as ****...it was shifted to the left too much...i was surprised with all the freeway driving i did after the install it didnt fall off...

Second attempt: i went to the shop i worked at during summer. we put the car on the bay, and lifted the car all the way up...then it was sooooo easy to install cuz we were able to work over our heads, and we were able to filll in gaps behind the lip and see clearly if its perfect or not.

So long story short, get it installed professionally...itll probably be like, what 20-50 bucks? its better to do it right the first time...why? cuz after my first attempt my friend curbed the rim and i rubbed so much that one of my rear tires was turning in air, meaning my other rear tire was rubbing like no other...FAWK

so yeah sorry for the rant Karo...did you get it from James (JL MOTORING) or did you pay triple the price for the euroteck lip?

nlpamg

damn! 3?!

I had mine professionally installed a loooong time ago and it's still intact and holding on strong. they told me that they didn't like the bolts that it came with, so they just use the same screws that come with the Hamann lips

(but, only four screws are holding it in place.)

rocafel1a

Hamann lips

Could be worse Rollnnn... I lost mine on the fwy, along with my front bumper mesh!

Midnight Koop

+1 or it could've fallen off while driving like kira's brabus lip

W203E35

Euroteck was wayyy to much. JL hooked it up. My fitment was ok (when I held it up). I was thinking to put some kind of clear silicon around the bumper and lip so Air doesn't get in between. What do you think?

Or like you said I might just pay the 50 bucks and have a body shop put it on. I have heard soo many people lose their front lip on the freeway that I am worried. With my luck it might fly off and hit a cop

Thanks for the info

samaritrey

That would suck and be sooo funny

e1000

Seriously??

I installed mine myself using 10 1/4" bolts from Home depot. Used self locking nuts and washers on BOTH sides. You could do jumping jacks off of my lip......

Unfortunately I ran over a seat cushion in the middle of the road. Cracked my lip but it stayed on there.

Really nice job on the car Rollnnn!

rocafel1a

yeah...james told me about putting silicon in between to fill up the gap as well...but i decided to put in 12 screws, and now its snugged on pretty tight...it also depends on where you put the screws too...

W203E35

I'll give the screws and bolts combo and have my coworker (340 lbs) do jumping jacks on it. If it hold then we are golden

Thanks for the good info guys. I'm a little more confident now

maverik259

if you do that your whole bumper might come off! lol

aac85

lmao

no it will not. to prove me wrong, ask your 340lbs coworker to jump on it!

W203E35

With my skinny *** (130 - 5'10) if I do it it might come off a 6'6 340lbs guys will salvage my damn car lool

Come to think of it....I was looking for an excuse to buy that Mars red C55 with Kleemann Supercharged for 28K

aac85

i cant believe that guy is willing to sell that car over the audi.

i think its sold too. whoever bought it, LUCKY GUY

maverik259

what kind of audi is the real question...

Mu9enx

Wow, I come back and I see this, sorry about hte lip bro!

ROLLNNN

damn, didnt know we had so many problems with these lips... that sucks!! oh well i guess you gotta expect it being so low to the ground.. i checked out the damage again, and i guess its not as bad as it couldve been, you cant really notice it til you get up close so no worries. Luckily these things are only a couple hundred dollars on ebay...

I was driving on the 710 this morning going about 65 and again there was balled up tire tread in the middle of the lane. I broke pretty hard thinking i would just hit it at a slower speed, since i couldnt really move out of the way (too much traffic) I thought for sure it was gonna jack my lip... i guess im not as low as i thought.. good thing for once..

As for the screws, i have about 8 or 9 holding it, i did it myself which was pretty difficult lining it up, but its on there pretty solid..

W203E35

Putting on my lip this weekend. I don't know how you put it on yourself. I think i'm going to need an extra person. Just two people isn't enough and you did it alone?

Haha what a trip I was on the 405 and went over a piece of rubber and that thing shot up in the air loool

Thank god nothing happened to my tire.

I once ran over a tire and ruined my bumper. I was told it was due to hard braking. When you hard brake your car does a nose dive.

MiKeSSw203

just think of it as a Carbon fiber bumper guard

I once messed mine up bad. The car in front of me kicked up a 2x4 and smacked the lip and crack the resin. End up getting in refinshed and smoked.
