CF front lip-just got it on!!!

ok guys! I got the CF front lip last weekend, but due to the crazy chicago winter, I had to wait till today to install it. Just took those pictures 10 minutes. they didn't turn out so well. but at least they are something for you to see. I think it looks much better if you see it in person.

Nice. I like it with the OE grill. It's just right. BTW, is it hell driving in the snow with that wheel and tire set-up?

yeah, I don't want to paint the grill. I am going for an all white/silver look. I actuallly ordered silver CF looking door panels, but the seller stiff me..... (i was stupid to send her cash). Anyway, to answer your questions.

1. those tires and wheels are no good in the winter. My car was stuck in the driveway for 4 days.
2. Fitment is good. I will say 98.5 to 99% good. overall, satisfied with the CF lip. I will take some close up pictures.

yes it does a little. it just follows the contour of the original bumper. I think pretty much all add on lips shape like that.

It's not hard to install. but it does require drilling. It's important to line it up right. so I think it's best to have the car lifted up high and you need a garage/shop to do that. it's an 30 minutes job. I took it to mercedes dealer to install it cause I couldn't wait. They charge me $63, which is a lot. But they really do a good job. they actually took off the lower panels and tighten the screws with nuts on the inside. Normally, you will just use tapping screw and no nuts.

thanks guys!!! i actually don't want anymore CF on my car. I am actually going for an all white/silver looking style instead of the all dark (Vadar style). I ordered some Silver/white CF door panels which will cover up all black spots on the car(except the tires, of course). then the car will be complete.

I might do the same. I had to drill in my CF diffuser and it looks great and is very secured but for the lip I might get them to do it so it's on straight and looks perfect.
