I like the lip! but prefer it all carbon no paint, i didnt notice it was a rezosport til i stared at it, I think it looks better on the C63 tho, something about the fog light housing being cut off on the C300/350 bumper I dont like.

Thanks Ken from Revozport. He shipped the lip yesterday morning or wedn night and surprisingly I received it this morning. Too excited, I took a half day today.
Used 6 gold bolts. Thought the gold would complement the lip, after all my pocket was emptied, but at a reasonable price. Let me know what you guys think.

Overall it's a nice kit, but too conservative IMHO.
As an aside, your BBS wheels are quite aggressively offset. Do you get any rubbing issues? It's especially noticeable in the pic.
Either way, congrats on your new mods.

When designing this lip, apart from carrying forward the original design cue from the RBS C63 or more of the C63 F1 Safety Car design, we tried to work a way out to keep those 2 bulges but its not really possible.
Reasons is because the bulges is not horizontally flat (actually it's very hard to explain in words) but basically if we make a lip to incorp the bulge, most likely it will end up be a lip that gives you LIFT instead of downforce. Not that it will make you take off but if it's lift, you'll certainly feel the difference.

Hmmm, just don't make breaks from the original lines/edges. Similar to what the carlsson lip did, except not as protruding? Wrap around the side bulges high enough to where the break in direction is to continue. Take a clue from what euroteck did with their bolting system on the sides by bolting on the inside of the wheel well protrusion to better hide the hardware.

Re: Fitting The screws.
I must apologise to Vince not having the whole pre-drilled and supplied. We will certainly rectify this on our next production.
We actually advice screws to be bolt on the bottom of lip at the front and one screw each on the far end of each side inside the front wheel fender.

No worries Ken, I rather it had no holes as I enjoyed the install anyway. Besides, I had holes in my bumper already from a previous lip so I was able to reuse them on this new one. Hey some people like what I do to my car and some don't. That's fine, I'm the one that has to jump in it and drive it anyway. I had imagined this kind of lip for some months now yet no one had put it out on the market. Now that I have it, I'm pleased. I'm honestly glad that most don't approve, it sets my car apart from everyones quite nicely

I feel like you can't put a lip on this car looks way tooooooooooo high the car has to be inches off the ground to put a lip like that otherwise it simply looks out of place....
