Carlsson or Brabus front lip

Thinking about getting a new front spoiler for my coupe.....
I sort of like the simplicity of the Brabus...but that Carlsson is hot. Any opinions or pics would be appreciated.

Brabus... it gives the car a more aggresive look, the Carlsson lip looks too much like the stock spoiler IMHO...

Rick, I should have my Carlsson lip installed on my car within the next couple of weeks. If you can wait that long, I'll have pics up.

My view of it is completely the opposite of TIJ's.

would just a front spoiler change the look that much with out looking out of place by not adding side skirts or a rear apron? i havent looked at body kits too much!

I don't think that either lip is aggressive enough to make it look out of place without sides or a rear apron. But then again, I'll be more sure of that when it's installed.

He has a coupe.

I think the AMG bodykit for the coupe is more special than the Brabus or Carlsson add-on lip. But only if you have that kind of budget.

Thanks...I thought about that AMG...but it's not really where I want to go. If I take it that far, I'll just order an 05 C32 AMG Sportscoupe from Germany and pick it up at Oktoberfest

...and I dont want to replace the entire bumper...just add the lip.

I was looking at the Brabus Pur-R-Rim and the Carlsson 5133 0190 f....Harris, can you e-mail me a quote?

Yes, the front makes a big difference. They dont make side skirts so it does not matter. The rear is not noticable besides its cut outs for quad tips.

Carlsson makes one. I am not sure the price but its like 1500 to 2500, something like that.

Yup, Carlsson does offer a quad exhaust system for the C-coupe.
