C55 at LA Auto Show
I saw this C55 at the HPS display section. Anyone on here own the car? It was sportin' Neal's carbon fiber lip. It looks pretty damn nice in person.

Fast Cars!
VERY NICE! looks awesome! really does a lot for a C55 even with the stock wheels it looks great!
btw, is it just me, or does these Renntech CF parts on the CLS not look right? very surprising since normally they have some nice stuff. I wish i can say the same for this car.

Yeah, that Renntech CLS had the worst CF job I have seen. The whole kit looks like they just glued it on the stock bumper and side sills. I took a close up picture of the rear valence CF piece. It looked terrible. They didn't wet sand it and there were still rough spots.
The CF lip on the HPS C55 AMG, now that was quality work.

Another pic
Front "splitter" - so you can cut the heads off of pigeons and small animals as you drive.
The HPS C55 didn't have these flaws. It was as smooth and shiny as glass. Fit and finish was great.

The Renntech CF parts look hideous on the CLS. It doesn't flow with the lines of the car and protrudes too much. I agree with everyone else about the C55 lip... very nice work.
sdsilverm3,
What kind of camera did you use? The pictures look very clean and professional. When are you going to post pics of your car with the BBS LMs? Keep us posted

Keep us posted .I just got a phone call an hour ago telling me my tires have been mounted and coilovers came in this morning so hopefully this weekend I'll be able to take some pics. I have to take my car to the stealer on Wednesday for some warranty work before I do any of the other stuff.
