Can you if you have the time or pics send me some photos of where the holes are, or better yet your CAD drawings?
Thanks.

Beautiful car "sdsilverm3" really is one the sickest C55s out there.
I was thinkin of buyin the CF lip last week but i am hesitating, i live in Montreal, Canada and the streets here are f**in horrible!
Do you think it's too low for roads in bad condition or it'll be ok? i don't intend to install the lip then pick it up from the middle of the road after a couple of drives!

I don't know how low your car is but with the addition of the lip my front end is pretty low. I have yet to scrape coming out of driveways but you definitely have to be careful when parking in spaces with the cement barriers or curbs in front of the car. Those will definitely do some damage. I will get some measurements for you later when I get home tonight.

The install took me about 2.5 hours doing it by myself without a power drill. I had a drill but I couldn't get enough clearance for it to fit under the car. My car barely cleared the ramps but if I had installed the lip I'm sure the lip would have been ripped off on the way down. Install is pretty intuitive. Instructions tell you to get 3 people but you could probably use masking tape to secure the test fit.

If you ever take off the lip the holes are TINY and you cannot even see them. The bottom of the bumper already has holes or clips. These almost look factroy since they are even.

I wondered how a CF Lip would look on a car like yours (white). Have to say, it is a perfect compliment to your setup. Love to see how your car is evolving, just keeps getting better and better.
After seeing that, I think I have to spend more money and pick up the CF lip myself. It's going to be an expensive couple of months.

You didn't order it yet did you? I think we only have 3 or 4 left. That will probably be all that is made for quite some time from us since we have to move on with other projects.

[QUOTE=sdsilverm3]Here are some pictures for you. Keep in mind my car is lowered and the measurements from the fender lip to the center of the wheel is 12.75". Your height may differ.
Thanx for the measurments man. My car isn't lowered at all so i think it should be ok if i'm careful.

I think you should be okay if you're stock height. Just be careful when parking in spaces with the cement blocks at the end.

No I did not order one that is why I am inquiring about attachment details so I can make a decision and order one. The lip is just the best looking piece I’ve seen so far and if it takes a while I can wait no problem. If you do have that instruction pic and can post it that will help very much and will be appreciated.
Thanks.
