EZ Lip
Guys, since I couldn't get hold of a carbon fiber lip, I found a quick fix to my solution. I bought this rubber stripe called EZ Lip on eBay and it looks very nice. Just pull the sticky tape apart and attached the rubber lip at the bottom of the car. No screws needed. I'll see how long it will last in the hash New England weather. I figure I might just get a few copper or stainless screws from Home Depot and screw them in if it start to peel.
Here are some pics....

It would probably take less than day before that got destroyed by a driveway in my car.
Do you still have the H&R's installed? It looks like it's at stock height.

The write up said it is very durable and flexible. It will bend back if you hit a parking curb. My worry is the sticky tape coming loose. I hate to have part of it hanging down while I am driving and get destroyed running over it. I think I might get some screws and hold it better, just in case.
Yeah, I have the same thought after putting the H&R springs in. The front looks way too high. I have a set of #2 pads waiting to be put in. I guess the original pads are either #4 or #5. I'll have to do that next weekend and see how it looks. When all else fail, I'll cut the springs

I called the guy with the E-Bay auction. He is the owner but knows nothing about the lip.
He said it was already installed when he purchased the car. Knows nothing about what it is or how it is installed. In other words, clueless.
I'm not wasting my time driving up there (30 min) just to talk to a car salesman.

Would you please take some pictures of the W211 lip, held up to a W210 front, so I can see?
I'm thinking that I can modify one to fit a W210.
Thank you.

You now what you could do.. that would look badas# Paint the *****
In my case I would paint it silver. The 3M probably wouldn't hold as it's on the street. But as other stated probably wouldn't last w/driveways.
Also try to see if you can get #1 pads. Your sitting pretty high. Each car is different w/pads. weird-

I don't think you can paint the piece as is made out of rubber. That's why it is bendable and will not crack if you hit it. It really hang low and if my front is lower, which it should be instead of what it is now, I might rub it against the asphalt every time I drive in and out of my driveway.
I understand that different cars have different pad size. I have bought #2 pads to replace the fronts. Will see how it looks once I put them in.

Snoozie you dont know how much i apreciate your good words and try to help me, i love in this forum the brothers sens of the members. Many many thanks un advance friend. Yes, you are right i live in a beautiful country with completly ******* governments.. And yes.. Stupid socialist.. Venezuela. With this idiots we have not permition to make payments outside our coutry cause we have money change control.. I can't pay vía paypal. And the other problem is the shipping to my country cause i need to justify how i paid for this item.. Is almost imposible. The only way i have is, ask to some friend who travel to US to buy me one, and comes again with the lip. Aaallll this is how i ask for some guy to install it in one 99" e55 to see if i like it.. If i like, i will ask to some friend to got one for me and i paid for it here in my country
Snoozie many many thanks by the help and good feeling bro many thanks,

What a **** up country!! Pardon my French. Venezuela is suppose to be one of the biggest exporter of oil in the world!! What, the government took all the money from the oil export and reward themselves rich beautiful cars and luxury live styles?? I hate living in a country with no freedom to get anything. Well, like I said, I am here at this forum, just too bad I can't just mail it to you. This EZ Lip is actual pretty decent in shape and it hold up pretty well so far.

Yes... is very hard to understand how a country like this with to much Money by oil export (we have the major oil reserve "In the world") this idiots make a rich life and all of us got all this restrictions. We can't buy luxury cars (only the government people) can import luxury cars, etc, etc, etc.... is imposible explain the situation in this country
Maybe some Venezuelan people in US (living in us) can tell you how hard is this..
But thanks by the help man! i apreciate.
If some member with a 99 e55 would install it in her car i would love to see it
