    I think I might actually try this out.

    I have an early model fat lip with brake ducts I was going to use that looks really similiar though. Might as well use the early lip almost.
    I have the same lip sitting in the basement. I also have an early-model front valence that is unbent and in great shape, so I am undecided as to if I am going to modify the lip or sell it with the valence. What I wanted to do was flip the lip upside-down so it looks something like a, Infinity lip, but with brake dicts. This would require fiberglassing extensions onto the lip and making some extension of some sort to make it "flow" into the valence. I think it might be more workt han it is worth, though.

        exactly!!! they are not $50!!! search on vortex to see what you can find. in the day they were around $125

                And that is why I don't have an IS lip yet.

                  the vr lip has little tabs along the top part.... line the lip up, mark the spots, dremmel the valance, fight, curse, measure and drill more, ????? profit.

                  and iirc i paid about $130 for mine back in the day "GENUINE AUTHENTIC GERMAN PART NO ITALIAN CRAP" LOL

                  here's a pic from back when i was a dubber lol. looked clean!

                      It looks like it mounts like our lips, maybe just buy a set of clips, and mount it to your 'i' lip
