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

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.
