That's not a front lip. It's a vertical bump-stop for the Low Rider suspension...

This belongs on a Honda Civic, not a Mercedes

I wonder what tire life one gets with a setup like that? Rolling the tires over on the inner sidewalls like that can't be good. And leaving the car like that for a month's vacation will flat spot those tires beyond recovery?

I get we hate the wheel/suspension set up but the question was about the lip.

Check ebay, that's probably your only shot.

I agree with Left Coast Geek that the lip is photoshopped.

All I can say is that between the fender work and custom parts that went on that car, I can only appreciate the time and money that went into making that car park hard as it does.

note that "lip" (and the skirts) is only possible because the car is air-bagged, so it can be lifted to go over driveways, bumps, dips, without scraping off all the custom made carbon fiber bits.

We know full well this is not your car. If this were your car, you wouldn't be asking where to find the overdone front lip.

It's not really overdone, the rest of the car is.

Likely its from Russia.

The pic in the first post and the car in the video (Post #14) shows this is a left-hand driver. The stickers in the rear window note Jakarta (Indonesia), where they indeed drive on the left. Just the topogrphy alone indicates it is not Russia.

would someone please explain to me what this massive negative camber thing is all about? surely its not about improving traction or handling ?

Yes, the lip actually IS really overdone. I wonder how many gold chains the owner keeps on his hairy chest.
Regarding the obscene negative camber, isn't that what happens when the airbags let the suspension crunch all the way down? Fill 'em back up and things straighten out as the car comes to a somewhat more reasonable level? Or is my understanding of the hard parts of suspension completely wrong?

I'm actually more curious about those rims with those tires: Are those super wide rims and skinny tires to get that kind of profile? I bet they're a real b**ch to set the bead. Really easy to curb the rim though.
