Time to share..... look what $12 can do for your E30

THAT is awesome.
Especially since we don't have access to reiger and the likes, and IS lips are rarer than tits on a bull in AUS.

I like this ALOT more than the IS lip,
-I love how it flares out 1/2 way down, and how the "indent" in the bottom is smaller and subtle when compared to IS.
Fucking awesome.

One lip I've had my eye's on for ever is off an 87 camry, looks like it might work, but it would look nowhere near as good as the volvo lip!

Thanks for the advice and walkthrough, CRIS!

I picked up 3 of these lips today from our local yard. If anyone is interested in one, PM me.

now I have to go back to the yard to pick an extra for spare.

What did you spray the lip with? The texture looks really close to the valence. :up:

I also would like to know that.

OH chip guard, thanks for pointing that out. I must be an idiot. I will try to be more specific with my request.

Can you please tell, is Chip Guard the brand you used? Possibly also if you got it at an auto parts store or an automotive paint supply store. This will ensure that I have the best chances of having mine turn out as nice as yours did.

Chip guard is by 3M. I've used this brand on numerous project and always been satisfied with the results.
REMEMBER:
*paint the lip before applying the chip guard. And apply the chip guard at the recommended distance.

Also wanted to ask did you the stock clips on the valence or you chop them off? Did you trim the volvo lip too where it meets the valence?

That is the exact brand. But i think i used a lighter texture.

Are you asking if i removed the stock clips???? Yes i did
And i did trim off a bit of the lip that meets the valance(about 1/8") keeps it flush to the valance.
But check out JW's - he kept the valance as is.

DAMN, stole my thunder! I found one of those 6 mos ago and it's been sitting in front of my car waiting to be trimmed up. I think it looks better than the 'is' lip. It will fit right into the stock clips, but I'm still screwing it in a couple spots cause it's so low. Not bad for $7.

ey cris do you know if theres anoy more at ecology, tow truck driver just busted my vw lip off :hitler:

[MR 325]

It may "fit" in to the stock clips but they aren't going to clip on to it, at all.
