Brabus Front Lip Finally Installed!! (Pics)
Well after about a three month wait, Brabus finally sent me another Carbon-fiber lip after UPS damaged the first one. I also installed a CF rear diffuser from EuroRev but it fell off during the photo shoot........ Haha, I need more than double sided tape.
Anyway, the Brabus lip is a nice piece and it is a perfect fit. I know Neal also offers a nice lip but I thought this piece could pass for a factory addition. I like the clean look that it creates.
Also, I forgot to tell you that they offered me a real bargin for this lip.

Yes, It kind of clips over the existing lower lip and on the underside there are a couple of holes that attach to existing anchors. No drilling is needed.

no drilling. wow-drilling is one factor that has kept me from considering...so this just clips and has postion holes to mount? general prx (if you don't mind me asking-think ~$1-1.2k?), shipping & mount time (seems maybe 5-10 minutes and can be done solo)? pulls the whole front-end together-real sharp.

I think I paid about ~$1,500.00 for the front and rear pieces (the rear was not Brabus). Brabus list the front lip for $1,500-$1,600. In retrospect, I'm not sure that the first lip they sent me was a genuine Brabus. It was heavier and did not have the same mounting points as this new one. Also, this one was shipped directly from Brabus.
The Brabus lip snaps over your lower bumper and is secured underneath at a couple of the same points that your bumper and lower air-dam meet.
