Where to get front lip for the W210?

Hey guys, I was wondering where everyone gets a CF front lip for our car. Does have to be CF though. Anything would do for the most part. Any used ones around? Thanks!

There was a CF lip for the AMG bumper, but it is apparently out of production and almost impossible to find now. You might consider a garage door lip:

It actually looks pretty good and has the benefit of protecting the bumper from curbs, rather than making it even more fragile, like a CF lip.

Here's an easier version, covering only the bottom instead of the top, too.

Have you seen one on an E55 W210 yet? Sounds and looks like a good idea. Maybe i'll try it some day

Holy crap saintz! This is twice so far....

This really does look like a great and cheap idea. Thanks for sharing.

The second version looks the best

i seen this also wonder how it would hold on our cars .. Not really geeked about drilling into my bumper though and doubt it will hold with just double sided tape ..
slick cheap DIY tho gotta give it that ..

Ok, so I went to Lowe's over the weekend to find the garage door molding...I didn't see it. I also went to Home Depot...nothing.

Anyone else know where it might be? I guess I can try looking online next.

damn both had it when i was in there .. I got some at lowe's . some rubber kind but it wouldnt shape out as needed as the bottom of the bumper changes into a curve and then again on the other side . almost attempted to make spiltters but nehh.. some guy on ebay sells the foam stuff like couple dollars a foot plus shipping you might wanna check it out just IMO foam wont hold up to my driving habits here in Detroit . I'd have one made of poly but itll crack for sure if i could find one in abs id buy it .

Well I looked at the link again, and it looks like I have seen this at Lowes...but it looks like 2 pieces and I don't know where to get the bottom one seen in the pic.

What foam one are you talking about?

The foam is a blown foam. There are also soft rubber ones. The rubber won't work as well, because it won't bend. You need the foam and it should be a single roll for the bottom.
