but gotta thank Carlsson for designing the lip
and Neal for making them into CFWish i can say it was that easy Frank. Ours has a carlsson style, buto our lip is over 50% different then the calrsson, although when looking at it installed its almost impossible to tell. The carlsson lip was just to sweet of a lip for me to not to go after that style.

I just paid $50 at a local shop to have them installed since I could not easily get under the car and needed to lift the car overhead to see the how it fit.
My suggestion for Neal is to include some plastic bushings in the installation kit (screws & washers) because without the white plastic bushings the shop had the hold on the bumper is not as strong.
The lip looks great in original Carbon Fiber unpainted on my Iridium Silver C55. I also got my Lorinser Roof Spoiler but WILL have it painted to color match the car. I don't think I need anymore exterior accessories other than new rims and tires. If I ever get a dent in my fender then I may consider a custom widebody DTM fenders from AutoExplosion in Gardena, CA.

Here are some pics of the new lip installed on my car. It's really gloomy out today and that is why the pics are so dark. I'll snap some later this week when it's nice out.

Wow that looks good. I'm bored so here are a couple brightened versions of your pics. What do you guys think of painting the lip? I'm thinking of getting one but can't decide whether to keep it CF or not. Will there ever be a non-CF version made for those would want to paint it? It would be a waste to paint the CF version.
. where'd you get those CL grills, or are those stock on the 55? hot carbon fiber lip

sdsilver - thanks for brightening up the pics -- looks more true to life like that. The black CF lip will look great on your white C55. The CF looks awesome on the car... much better in person. The pics don't do the lip justice.
Neal w/ EuroTeckMotorsports sure did make a nice CF lip.
Now I can't wait for you to design the CF hoods.

saw Neals car in person (couple of days ago, in Parkland) - the CF lip looks MUCH better in person , than on the pictures.
Neal, end up buying C55 from Texas, will be here in 10 days or so, may be ordering some stuff from you guys.
