    Polyurethane Ebay Front lip review. only $99? to good to be true.

    so some of you who know me may already know but. This rieger lip didnt last long. not to mention the entire passenger side was missing after having hit a possum on the freeway. so i picked up a Polyurethane ebay lip






    I was very very skeptical of the fitment and quality due to the very low price of $99 bucks. and the lack of pictures of the actual product installed on vehicles. But surprisingly the cheap C36 Knock off front lip actually looks pretty good and fitment was actually really great for the pre-facelift W202s as the lip contours the rounded down part for attachment. Sorry for the poor Cell shots. and dirty ride. I need to get her washed up and get some real shots but the fitment is fine for anyone on the fence about this lip. Although I would recommend it only to those with pre face lift as the facelift bumper is slightly different. The rieger lip I had was from a 98-00 W202 and it seems like they were made with extra space at the corner to accommodate the facelift 202's Oem lip.

    Yeah, I see you rollin' every once & awhile (usually because I hear you from a 1/2 block away) & it boggles my mind how you handle the dip @ Camino Ruiz on a green with heavy traffic on your tail?!

    Haha yeah I actually put an exhaust back on it.I like my music more than the raw sound of the m104. As for the dip @Camino Ruiz . I avoid it like the black plague haha! Or hitlike the far lefton lane. The one coming off Kearny villa onto miramar is way worse. That is where I get the most honks.

    $24 for some mercedes 149 white. shot it myself. And im not sure how the fitment on the facelift bumpers are. If you own a 98 it may or may not work out for you. but honestly for $99 you cant loose to much even if it doesnt fit.

    the top picture is the rieger lip in multiple pieces and missing the right side lol. I left it in my recycle bin so its been made into plastic bags or bottles by now im sure LOL
    should you get a rieger lip or this lip ? Ide say rieger if you're not slammed. Or if you plan to be on air. otherwise im sticking with the Ebay lip till then

    I only run the upper middle adjustable camber arm. those alone do wonders for the negative camber when lowered. Would like to have a forward camber/toe arm as well.

    I for sure like it more than the Rieger with how low it is, I can get in and out of driveways now ! still have to angle but thats a given.

    Yeah , I like it more than the last lip and it doesnt have a split in the middle but I do want to eventually get bumpers. I need the facelift rear at very least.
