Front lip looks great. I'm so tempted to get one.

If you're open to suggestions, I think that blacking out the remaining white between the front lip and the lower front fascia would complete the look.

Have you considered an aftermarket grille? Single fin 507 style with the black border would look great, chrome border single fin or double fin would look good too.

Only other thing that I would do is the bixenon retrofit. The DEPO ones at least.

Can't tell what wheels you have on though...

Those suggestions are exactly what my next moves are going to be. How would you go about blacking out the remaining white between the front lip? Plastidip? Kinda hesitant to go that route.

Single fin 507 style is already on the way.

As for the bixenon retro fit, I am extremely interested in doing that. I just don't know where to start. Suggestions please.

Plastidip will never hold. I went with vinyl.

Here's what it looked like without the CF lip.

looking sweet man. you should get the c63 single fin replica grille. it looks nice in pictures but it looks even better in person. I just put one on mine a couple of days ago and it looks so much sportier

Since you got the black frame I think it would look better if you plasti dip the LED strips also. The reason I got the chrome frame was cause it matches the chrome LED strips. but since your car is white I think the black frame will look nice anyway

Looks aside, at least the lip will increase your mileage by 1-2 MPG on the highway.

Please update when you get your 507 grille. I will probably ditch my illuminated star for the time being and get a 507 grille and front lip if I like the look (really confident I will).

The star in the aftermarket single fin and double fin grilles is an ML class star, unfortunately.

Thanks! I've been trying to be very cautious of it! Any unique advice on trying to keep it from been damaged?

Will definitely update right when it gets put on! I am sure we both won't be disappointed. I have been hearing 55tech produces quality grilles.
