    Are there any options for a lower profile/thinner lip?

    Is there anything out there that I could run if I'm low enough to where I'm busting iS lips, but am still bothered by seeing the car with nothing under the valance? I tried a Volvo lip that the previous owner had on the car for a bit, but it popped off the first day I put it back on. :(

        The best solution in my opinion would be learning how to drive.

          i lip, fits well, doesn't hang low, and looks way better than the ghetto vw/volvo lips

              I think I will look for an i lip, I remember seeing one at the junk yard a couple of days ago so I might go back and grab it.

If your used to hot rodding around and speeding all over the place then you need to have the car raised up enough to deal with your driving style and roads. If your roads are shit and you wanna drive low, well you need to change your driving style to deal with the roads and the car.
              Know what I'm saying?
              Kind of hard to drive around ridiculously high and short speed bumps that were installed by a private HOA (so they don't have to adhere to any guidelines), but thanks for your well thought out and helpful responses guys. Feel free to point out my low post count and lack of avatar/sig if you feel the need.

                  OP seemed like he had a legitimate question, and i'm not sure whey people jumped on his case and arrived at 'learn how to drive'

                    I agree, and Ill go one further, I'd say just FVCK these guys. What does driving have to do with the question.

                    I swear, some of you guys must be 14.

                    BTW.. I like the i lip just fine. If your low enough, the iS lip is just going to get trashed. No matter how you drive.

                      I don't know what this is really all about, the above posts aren't telling OP he doesn't know how to drive, they are just saying that being really low requires a different driving style. But I think an i lip would probably suit your needs.

                        another option is no lip, just make sure you remove all the clips and bend the taps back so it doesnt look like you are missing a lip. cheap and effective for the lowest of the low.

                          If you live in said private HOA, you could just make the sleeping policeman disappear.

                              VW MK3 2.0 lip, just gotta section the middle, lop the ends off and trim the clips back.
                              *the white ziptie has been replaced wth a black one from the back* I like the way this one looks, just like a 'doubled' i lip sorta. I have a MK3 duckbill on order, pics to come when it's on.


                              VW MK3 2.0 lip shortened by length and width, I now have the duckdill but no pictures yet
