As far as I have searched, there is the JL motoring one ($400), and one offered here by a forum member for $300. The JL motoring one looks better in my opinion, and has gotten decent reviews. Haven't looked into the other one. Search for the thread, i think it may still be on the first page of threads.

PM Gary@Suvneer. If he has some left, I'll be able to send you the installation instructions so it goes easy and fast.
I got mine from him and it's much cheaper than JL Motoring...

Last time I asked Gary- the Lip he had for the facelift C-Class required extensive cutting to make it fit. I would try the JL-Motoring or 3A-Motors has on on ebay:

Any lip you get for the facelift will require some work to make it fit. The advantage with Gary's lip is that I have detailed pictures of what needs to be done.

If it requires work to make it fit- it's not designed properly. I had a Euroteck REAL Carbon Fiber Lip on my 2008 and it fit perfectly and was flawless. It was over 5 years old when I totaled the car and it was still in fantastic condition. I'm not "making it fit"- that's their job.

The lip gary,jl motoring, and any lip that is that style all comes from the same manufacture. Well thats what gary told me when i spoke to him. Dont really understand the logic of producing a lip that doesnt have a perfect fit.

No doubt. It fits or it doesn't. That is why I buy or I don't.
Perfect fitment is necessary.

Wanted to give an update. I went ahead and did a dry fit today and it appears The JL Motoring one fits perfectly. From the looks of it, they cut the lip already. I will do a formal fit next week and let you guys know how it works.

Update:
I couldn't wait for Invain15.
I contacted both Gary@Suvneer and JL-Motoring and got confirmation that the Suvneer one required cutting while JL-Motoring does not.
I now have the JL-Motoring version on order.

Beautiful, looks great. Are you going to cover up that white strip just above the lip? I've seen some people do it, but others leave it like that.
Also, how do you like those headlights?
