Front Lip

I have some questions before ordering the front lip for my C350.

1. Is it easy to install? Does it require any holes to be drilled on the bumper?
2. Does it look better in black or white (my C350 is white)?
3. Which one do I order from eBay?

1. Yes-it's easy to install. Yes- it requires holes but they are under the stock bumper and are not noticeable if you ever remove the lip.
2. Depends. By black do you mean Carbon Fiber? If not- white would flow better (if you have the paint matched). CF looks more aggressive if that's what you are looking for.
3. The Euroteck version (like the one phranksmbz is offering you) is what I have. The only other one I would possibly consider was sold by JL Motoring. It is not flat across the bottom and follows the contours of the stock bumper. I personally prefer the Euroteck (for obvious reasons).
Hope that helps a little.

There are 4 lips out there (off the top of my mind)....EuroTeck, JL Motors Carlsson Rep, DCT Motors, and Revozport. All are good quality, just different styles, so search for images and see which you prefer.

Man! I forgot about the DCT and Revosport. Don't see too many of those on ebay.

All 4 are of good quality and wouldn't have any qualms recommending any. However, I know there are copies of the original designs out already that sell from china that do not meet the same QA standards. My only recommendation is if you get one, get it from the source. Anything beyond that is just personal taste of style.
