Front lip for C350?
Recently bought a '13 C350 coupe so here I am haha, no idea what I fully want to do with it yet but I would like to tweak and add some things by spring time (I live in Boston). Right now I'm looking into buying a front lip, and I know there a lot of options, (I seem to hear JL Motoring quite often), but if anyone could let me know which ones are the most popular aesthetic + fitment wise, that'd be great. I'd prefer the more sharp look than the rounded ones.
Feel free to drop any other mod ideas as well
Don't rice me out tho.

Nice, any photos? What packages did you get?
My practical side won out and I just got a 2013 C250 Sport Sedan. But I did eye some of the C350s and coups. The C350s were rather rare.
I'd think it would be hard to rice the car out.

I'd post photos but it's still pretty stock! I've only blacked out the chrome trims for a cleaner look + changed out the orange side markers. 4-matic, leather package (red), sport package, back up camera, amg wheel package
You? How's it treating ya?

Sounds beautiful.
I've just got a few nagging issues the car came with I'm getting fixed but otherwise love the car. I'm itching to add some factory packages, such as keyless go and Intelligent Lighting. But those appear to be rather cost prohibitive undertakings. Simple sounding things that require a whole vehicle teardown and reprogramming, lol.
Coming from a VW it's a little frustrating there are fewer upgrade options but the car needs less.
I may try to black out the rims but that may be it. It's a look I like with certain color combinations.

What's your budget for the front lip? Are you looking for carbon fiber or something you'll paint?
You could always upgrade the lighting to clean whiter LED/HID lighting. Let us know if we can help you out there

I've actually installed HID low beams already, my next scheduled tweak is the x-pipe, which hopefully should be done by the end of this month

But on another note, keyless go should have been standard. Considering it's MB.What're the color combinations on your car?

Carbon fiber! I don't really have a budget but I don't want to invest too much on it because New England is essentially pothole central so it'll get banged up inevitably. Trying to avoid scratching up the bottom of my car even more since it already sits relatively low.

We also have LEDs for your parking lights, signals, sidemarkers, and interior.
For front lip, I'd suggest hitting up one of our forum vendors and see what they can do for you in terms of setting you up. JBSpeed, JLMotoring, Mode Carbon, RW Carbon, and Suvneer.

Allows for an easy way to upsell pricier packaging and distinguish across the brand levels with more upgrades as stock at higher end.

It looks nice. It was pretty cold when I installed but the key is the bolts. You will definitely have to bolt it down. I used about 6 bolts along with the 3mm. I did it by myself, so I used to jacks to hold it in place.

No because I was freaking about drilling into my car. I was under the same impression as you about the 3mm tape. I contacted the vendor and he told me that I had to drill. I can send you send you a pic when I get off today. I will also send you a pic of the bolts I used.
