    looking for ideas on what lip to use on my 89 325is

    I'm shopping around for the best lip to put on my plastic bumper coupe & I'm curious what options I have.

    First thought is of coarse the IS lip but I'm also looking at the Volvo lip people use. Can anyone provide me with info on that? Like what year & model id find that on?

    Any other options out there?

    This car is quickly becoming a weekend/ autox car so I'm not looking for something ultra rare that ill cry like a lil girl when I Rip it off by murdering some cones.

                How much do the VW lips go for? Anyone got one for sale?

                Really don't care its the cool lip to have, just need something to beat up & not care about

                People should post pix of these lips to help me decide

                  If you need a lip that you don't have to care about go with the 10$ Volvo lip

                    How about putting the one on that the car came with? The iS lip.

                    Don't buy that garbage eBay copy, it's not OEM. The OEM iS lip is about $115 shipped brand new.

                      The IS lip is the most money & I would hate to bash it up. Plus variety is the spice of life guys! I've got 3 plastic bumper cars & wouldn't mind having them look a little different.

                      SO, if anyone has pix of there car with the Volvo lip, mrk3 lip or any other lip please post up so I can see if I like it.

                            Check every broke ass R3V member's pics, they'll have a Volvo lip.

                            My car has had the same iS lip since 2005, it's all about being careful.

                              I autox a lot. As I do 20+ events a year. My car will be getting the iS lip. Its about how the lip is supported. If you have it mounted properly it will be fine.

                              You can be honest and say the reason you want to pass up the iS lip is because of cost. My lip now is a cheap POS
