how much did you spend to install your 1st defect lip ?? (professional body shop with 3 guys working on 1 lip)

$80.... only about 25 minutes of labor really.... just didnt have a lift myself and needed an extra hand because the fitment was so poor... so i decided to see if maybe there was anything that could be done if I brought it somewhere professional... but unfortunately there wasnt, it was the lip

C350

I also am a victim of the "defective" lip, however I got mine from 3motor on ebay. I prob should have read this thread before buying

. I have contacted the seller and hopefully I get a response before friday. Im not angry, YET! since its only been like 3days since I got it but if I get a bs response or they are not willing to negotiate a deal, at that point I will definitely give them negative feedback. I am well aware of the fact that most of these "cheesy" lips and aftermarket parts come from asian manufacturers, not to bash them

but in most cases they're products are mass manu and not carefully fit to the application they go to. I am waiting for a response, hopefully this gets worked out in a timely manner.

I retract my statement... I test fitted the cf lip with a buddy of mine and it "looked" as if it were a bad fit but after taking it to a local benz mech/shop they were able to get the lip on flawlessly:

I also had the rear diffuser put on and it looks just as good:
