Talking Front Lip Installed

I finally got my front DCTM lip installed. I still need to adjust the left side to get a better fit (there is a gap in the photo). Fitment is about 98%. The lip came with the screws, bolts and nuts which was cool but I had to use double the amount of each to securely fit the lip. I personally LOVE IT! It makes the car a little bit more aggressive but not too much which is what I was after. Ivan at DCTM was great and gave me a very fair deal (he's a sponsor of the forum so hit him up!).

Do you guys think I should change my grill? I kind of like the color match grill but I also like the C63 style grill. What would match better?

Keep your grille. Your body color is the only color I'd suggest not modifying your grille at all.

Great looking lip

Looks great! I agree with ^ not modifying the grill at all. Although I think the C63 style headlights would add just that slight dark contrast to the front end which would complete the look of the car.

Looks really nice, one of the nicer front lip spoiler out there.
I agree with everyone to keep the grille. The stock grill looks the best on silver.

LOL. I wanted the edges to be more tight around the bumper. 2% more and it would be perfect!

I think Ivan has one posted for $375 shipped and painted, try searching, it should be a newer post. The install I just did myself. It's not too hard but you do need some time and a buddy to help. Also a floor jack and power tools will help out a lot too.

might be the picture, but looks like the sides bulges/extends out more vs other lips where the front extends out more and the side follows the curve of the bumper more.

mix feeling about this lip.
