So I decided to get this custom carbon fiber chin spoiler or whatever you want to call it, after seeing some of the newer AMG models coming with carbon fiber parts from the factory. What the hell, I thought- I'm going to try it out and see. Turned out great in my opinion.


So here it is

And just a side note in case anyone's wondering the suspension is slammed but since it's a hydraulic unit I can just press the button to raise back up to normal driving and then raise it up again for super bumpy roads. I just press it down to the lowest position to take photos, or cruise.. Because I think it looks best that way.
Well thanks for checking out my thread!

Hey thanks for all the nice words fellas! I certainly appreciate them.. I think my favorite aspect of this lip is the fact that it creates a bit of a point like the E63 style at the very very front, which makes things look a little more aggressive but still keeping it pretty classy. That's the one aspect I just definitely don't want to lose with the car..
I got some more carbon fiber stuff coming including a trunk spoiler and custom diffuser we're working on with the body shop.. but that's where I'm drawing the line, Carbon can look real good but if you go to overboard I'm afraid it might start to look little boy racer-ish..

I'll update this thread as I get the parts put on.

Beautiful lip and car, anything with the AMG letters on it is golden in my book.

And holy moly look at those front calipers!

Hey thanks again guys. I think I made quite the difference if you compare what it used to look like when I bought the car and it was was 100% stock.. Here's a photo.. Just in the front end alone, look at the change..

And yes, these are the 8 piston upgraded brakes. I put in a set of freaking awesome Akebono euro spec HD pads, and it stops this 4100LB beast like it's a 3000lb sports car. (well almost. But braking performance is just unreal. )

Remember, these are actually 20" wheels too.
