hate your volvo lip? cut it into pieces!

[NuthinFancy]

I like wat you did with the lip makes the car look clean and the lip dosent look as cheap as it does when people first get it off the volvo and slap it on their e30. Good job.

thanks! the best part is that besides time involved the whole thing cost me like $7

I think they actually look really good when mounted right-side-up.

how'd you do that? when I tried, it was too wide.

I just used the clips that were used on the volvo with a little bit of help from zipties. :D

Man, I cannot see the seem in the pictures, impressive!

First you have to trim the inner part. Make sure you dont trim it too much. I trimmed and driver side too much so I have no space put a bolt through. You cant notice it much but it comes out a bit. I started by aligning the front part, secured it on with some nuts, bolts and washers. Used some muscle and bent it to align it with the curve of the bumper, quickly marked the holes, drilled it and bolted it down.

after you cut it why didn't you just put the bottom half on the car?

seems kind of pointless to me, but I like my volvo lip with ix flares. I could see it not looking right on a regular i or e though

[mkcman17]

Because there are no mounting clips whatsoever, and I wanted it to be sturdy.

Which Volvo is this off?

[NWUnFitted]

I have a volvo lip on my 318!
and alot of gravel on the shop floor because it seems that the lip turned into a shovel as I backed it in

[FunfGan]

Yea, still don't get the hate on the volvo lip... Some cars look great, some like trash. I like how mines cut though, so it doesn't do a crazy flair-out at the sides.

[mkcman17]

i feel like some people aren't even reading the op..

after a year, lip still holds strong.

[downforce22]

i used a pocket knife and cut tiny holes in it that lines up with the original holes in the valence to mount it.. seems a lot easier to mount it using that method,

But if you like the iS lip and not the flare of the volvo lip do it this way, more power to ya

[mkcman17]

i didn't want any holes to show, plus my way makes it easily detachable. ask me how i know...haha.

love the car, but either take that plate off or put it back in its proper location.
