    Does this front end look good?

    My iS lip has been pissing me off since it was invented. I love the look, but so does roadkill and Canadian snowfall. Plus, my car will be sitting low on GC's very soon and that will only make the relationship between the lip and valence even worse.

    Opinions?

    <---- Dibs on the iS lip if you get rid of it. (for a friend that can't speak for himself)

    Oh, and yeah, I think it looks good.

      Browsing through the pic CD I found this exact combo. And I was going for originality. :x

      Here's another angle:

          Word, the man has taste. How many other cars you seen with the stock bumper and M-Tech lower? I actually prefer it, the black trim gives some much needed breakup of the red.

              A few, but not many.

                    Yea fogs are the same, the M-Tech II slips over the old one, but you have to drill.

                    I'm doing this too, same thing, but I need to get my fogs put in first. Just need some brackets for the fogs, and some relays, and thats it.

                      Yeah, I already have the Koni SA's in my garage. Just gotta call GC this week and order. It won't be mounted for months, but the U.S. dollar is on a rampage. :shock:

                        Okay, besides the valence itself what extra parts do I need? Uses the same fog brackets too?

                          Dude, dont sweat it. Everything has been done before unless you are going to custom build your E30 into a V8 powered monster truck.

                          Just do what you like. When people email me asking about my setup they ask if I mind them copying me. No, shit, I am copying Alpina.
                          I like it.
                          Im now E30less.

                            Shit, you got my number. :oops:

                            I'm just trying to see how much extra the new part will cost compared to just getting a new lip or repairing the cracked one I have.

                              M-tech II valances come down lower than the stock valance, so you are still going to scrape.
