Yep, I know. The one on eBay by benz-vs-bmw is for LCI cars. The one I posted appears to be an alternative for pre-LCI cars.

Oh! Sorry about that, I thought you were saying the eBay lip was the same as the link you posted. My bad!

I literally JUST tracked it and it will be here tomorrow! I'll take some test fit photos once it arrives and I get out of work! Looking at places now to prime/spray it. I figure if people are getting whole kits sprayed for $500 or so, how much could the actual lip be? $50-$75? (I'm hoping!)

So I think I've decided to do this, and just wondering if this is the product I should be going with (never wrapped anything but a sandwich, or a cut on my hand before)? While it's not "Black Sapphire Metallic", it is a Gloss Black Metallic and I think it should be fine (I hope). http://autovinylsolu..._Black_Metallic

Any input or direction towards the actual Black Sapphire color wrap, or another product...etc., would be most appreciated!
Also, any input on how much wrap I would need for this? Do you think that 60" x 12" is enough?

Thanks again!

cryptical -

Keep us posted! I am very interested in this too and couldn't find any pictures online showing it painted and installed. I emailed the seller of that lip on ebay about some photos... will let you know if he sends some over.

Let us know as soon as you have it installed. Can you take some pictures too please? Thanks bro!

It's either going to be this lip of the M5 style bumper..

The paint price on that lip should be around $150 and maybe up to $200 if there's some warranty work included.
