Early model e "lip" on late model valence?

[bigredguy]

Just like the title states i was wondering if you can mount an early model lip to a late model valence. I believe all the early model lips are the same unless its a euro model car. Im wondering this because im buying a late model valence for my 87 and have not sourced an is lip yet. If theres any work to be done that would be nice to know.

I should be picking up the valence and installing it this weekend, so if nobody has any ideas, ill see what i can do with it, and let you guys know.

I know it's been done before, just not sure how much work you need to do

i know ive seen it too. From what ive read the is lip just clips in and i believe the early model lip screws in. Someone has got to know for sure though.

You can use the 86-87 lip. But not the 85 and back lip. Cause the 85 and back lip is shorter on the sides.

[bigredguy]

perfect. does it clip it, or does it use the screws that are visible from the front?

[JasonC]

I'm not to for sure how people mounted them. Knowing r3v, they used zip ties.

^hahaha it would be temporary until i find a is lip, so ill keep that in mind

The iS lip isn't hard to find, it's $115 shipped brand new.
