hey man installed the new pump and car has not given me a problem since. Im gonna have to pick one up, i think theres an ecology up in oceanside so maybe ill check that out. i just got a vr6 lip that i was gonna make fit but this looks 10x better thanks for the info

[bwanac]

That's how I have my Rieger mounted.

do you have low beams in where your high beams go??

I was at the Ecology in Oside today and they have a Volvo wagon there. Not sure of the model and not sure if the front valence was intact, but I wish I'd seen this post this morning. That looks great!

BTW, if anyone is going to that Ecology for E30 stuff, don't bother. There's nothing left...we left empty-handed.

Looks like they are also available with cutouts:

Edit: this is for 740's from 85-89, the one without cutouts is from 90-92

I used screws, but i don't see why zip tie wont work. You just get a tighter seal with a screw.
I remember when i use to run a IS lip and that thing fell off so many times. I'm surprise i never ran over it. I think this one is much beefier......

got a pic of how you mounted it? i have one of these old lips sitting in my garage from my old yota, im gonna try it. did you drill into the volvo lip and just screwed it into the valence?

Yes.... It's a hack job but it works. I have HID on lows and a regular bulb on high.

No pic....
Yes i drilled throught the lip and into the valance. I also removed the tabs where the factory lip hangs- this gives it a more flush look. The installl is not too hard, the lip material is also pliable- so the lip could be bend when you need to for drilling.
If you decide to remove the tabs, you could even use the existing hole and zip tie it together- if you want to go that route.... but i would recommend using screws . Do you have a pic of the Toyota lip?

Anybody has any idea how much an IS lip cost????

Nice work Cris,looks so much better than an iS lip.Infact it looks so good I stole your idea and picked one up today from my local scrapyard :)
