    Volvo lip preperation.

    i recently just bought 2 volvo lips. one for me and one for my cousin.
    and they both have typical damage like scratches and some gashes.

    what would be the best way to make it look good and smooth?

    Sand it down a bit and spray paint flat black

        Two step preparation:

        1. Remove trash can lid
        2. Throw those heinous pieces of trash in

              This is probably what I'm going to do with mine.

                  I put it on today. It looks SO much better than no lip which is what I was running before. I'll post pics as soon as possible. :D

                        everyone quit hating on volvo lips, its better than no lip at all. that being said, i hate the flaired sides on the lip, ruins the look period, if thats been taken care of, then it looks decent.

                          Plasticoat prolly will work too. Two thing with kiks ride...it needs a BLACK lip (armorall if anything) and the whole car needs to come down ~2.5".

                            This is the important part. Then they're hardly discernable from an iS lip.
