    Is there a lip i can add onto the stock late i valence?

    My girlfriend has a stock i valence in good shape. Want to add a lip onto it that is classy and stock looking. Any options?

    Thanks,

          you can add both the i and is lip.

          I have the is lip on my car. you can also go reiger, that may be a little over the top for your application though.

            so, I don't have the i lip already? Is the IS just a bolt on? i thought it was a 1 pieve airdam.

              No, the i lip is clipped on, you just remove it and clip the is lip on. Same thing, just a little lower.

                Take a look at my sig. it has the updated valence (which I think you are talking about), i have the is lip, the i lip is much narrower and is stock on all 325i, 318i..etc

                I really like the is lip. it's about $160 though. It clips into the bottom of the valence with 10 special clips at about $.50 a pop.

                    we don't know if you have the lip. do you?

                    it's just a thin piece of plastic about an inch tall attached to the bottom of your metal valance.

                      Okay. So I have to buy the entire airdam. There's no bolt on addition.

                            no. you unclip your i lip and clip on the is lip.

                            if you don't have an i lip, you can skip the first step.
