i was thinking about flipping it, but it's still just too 'long' IMO. makes the front look like it has a big jaw. my goal was to make something think like the 'i' lip, but with contour like to volvo/is lip. but i am way jealous of how flush you got that....

Hahaha i remember you bro, i was at the picnic . and also im just remembering you were trying to sell me that getrag haha. i just cut the top a bit so it would sit flush and would be clear from the foglight screws. its actually fairly easy.

Don't mean to hate but...
Mines better! :D

unfortunately i only took one picture of the fab work, but maybe you can get the idea. i used a table saw and 'carefully' split the lip lengthwise, just above the middle tabs as pictured. i used the tabs as anchors and mounted the 'volvo' lip onto the 'i' lip with zip ties. i drilled smaller anchor holes on the insides of the two lips to make sure they were at least snug to each other. i popped out the mounting clips from the valence and drilled matching holes into the lip and ziptied the lip to the valence. pretty simple...just takes a lot of patience.

I still hate the dang thing.

yup! if you mount the bottom half onto the upper half it sits flush and tight. just needs a little bit of handywork!

Can you explain how you did it a lil more. Did you actuallly cut it in half??? Thanks

Looks amasing by the way! :pimp:

[mkcman17]

I've been against the Volvo lip since day 1, but just like Eurospeed says, the lip in the last 2 shots look really good.
