          Guys stop being cheap and just buy yourselves the real thing. I don't mind having something on my car that's "non-OEM" but it's just the fitment of volvo lip is not that great. It looks terrible. A Volvo lip is gonna cost you ~$50. An IS lip is gonna be ~$100. Personally, I really like the splitters that Ryan makes. Forgot this last name, but he sells em for like ~$75. Some people don't wanna spend the money for something that might break late, I know I know. But it's having that NICE front end look, it's amazing!
          Just look how simple, yet how awesome this front end is. It's just a regular IS lip with a splitter.

              ^^^^ I dont think you read through the thread carefully... NO thread trashing, let the man sell his items in peace.

                The man is generously offering to sell you these lips If you want them. If you don't like it then leave this thread alone. You bought your e30 to mod it (or not mod it) the way you want. Not to tell others to mod theirs the way you want. Seriously people. Drives me nuts that so many people here feel that everyone needs to have the same taste as them

                      also for splitters its really easy, you get alumilite (cheap) and bend it to the volvo lip. dont deal. Ive been using alumilite on my racecar for years now stuff is strong as fuh and cheap as crap. can be bought from local sign making shops usually in 4x8ft sheets for 100$ and in almost any color

                          A Volvo lip will NOT run you $50 LOL
                          I got mine for $6 pulled, $4 for some zip ties, and that was that. I heat-gunned the edges of the lip as well so that they didn't flare out and fit the lines of the valence. 1-2 hours installation, and you have a great guard against nasty bumps (Id rather lose a Volvo lip than lose a valence)

                          I am a HUGE proponent of the plow plow Lulvo lip



                          They are a cheap, easy, good looking non-OEM solution for people who don't want to dish out $120+ for a new lip. Will I be putting one on my current e30? No, but I still think Volvo lips look fantastic and look great if you know how to work a heat gun

                          While, I think your asking price is a little high, GLWS OP :up:

                            I know there is a thread in the DIY section that outlines how to convert a Volvo lip into something that looks a lot more like an IS lip but is still stronger.
                            If you were able to do that you could probably sell a lot more!

                              The only bad looking Volvo lips I've ever seen have been the result of pure laziness. Spend 10 minutes trimming the sides off & test fitting. It's not hard to mount either. My local yard was selling them for the same price. Maybe they're catching on? Either way, this is a good deal. GLWS

                                If you have good clips the Volvo lip snaps in just like the iS lip. Thats how mine is on and it stays put at 100+mph on the track, and occasionally off the track through the grass.
