Opinions of EZ Lip?

Has any one every tried EZ Lip?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/MERCEDES-BENZ...ht_1869wt_1270

I think it looks pretty decent, good alternative to see how the car looks before committing to an actual lip. Opinions or alternatives?

LOL!! bro get that sh*t out of here you have to be kidding me hahahahaah

here is my opinion: it looks terrible and cheap. there are plenty of people on the forums with all different types of front lips that you can scope out so there are plenty of examples of how the car would look.

Alternative: go get a REAL front lip

Hahaha would have never thought of that. I guess that's a much cheaper alternative.

It is a cheap alternative, but is that what you want your MB to look like a cheap alternative?!

My friend uses them on his car as lip protector since his car is so low. So the linear gets beat up instead of the lip. I was gonna do the same but my lip is already beat to hell. My next lip is going too be an APR front splitter.

I almost did the garage door liner mod with my sedan once, but I figured it wouldn't go to well with pewter. If I had a black car I defiantly would. I have seen it done to cars in person before and it actually looks pretty nice for a under $20 mod

Not worth it fellas, as soon as you scrape it on something its pretty much done. Don't even waste your energy putting something meant for a garage on your Mercedes. Trust, because Ive had one already

Lol well I'm only doing if its free. Most likely wont stay on either, but I'm 16 and being my first car I just want to try ideas for cheap, plus being able to pull it off in a flash or knock it off.

I think of ez lip as something to just protect the bottom of your bumper from scraping. Never really looked at it as something for looks

I kinda agree. I am super meticulous about taking car wof my car and don't want any scratches on the bumper. If I get any thing out of it I hope it's protection. Like I said idk if ill keep it but hey if it's free (if I win) why not try it right?
