740 lip on alpine white

[golde30]

been doing a lil research. the earliest model 740 these can be found on is 1990. not sure how long they made that style body after that...

Nice job guy, I ma stock up on these and do some different paint schemes on them for that price I'll put my IS lip away and use these lips as beaters......

theres paintscratch.com and towerpaint.com but i went to pepboys and got duplicolor "pure white". matches okay until i get some mixed paint.

What paint did you use? Is there an off-the-shelf paint that matches Alpine White well, or did you get something custom mixed?

kamotors- its from a volvo not 740i

tee hee 740i lips are cool also

[jw 325ic]

its off of the old boxy ones, its mounted upside down compared to how volvo mounts it. go to CRIS's thread just below mine "time to share"...

it was $20 bucks, but that yard raised its prices. CRIS got his for $12. so anywhere from 10 to 20 bucks plus paint. i trimmed the edges to sit flush with the wheel well and drilled 20 holes and zip tied it to the valence. if you take the iS lip clips off youll see the holes.

Looks awesome! How did you mount it?

[golde30]

that looks awesome. this is offa old boxy 740 volvo? or one of those new ones with stock body kits? how much did it run you to pick it up?

[jw 325ic]

and one to show ground clearance, MUCH better than that damn reiger

[jw 325ic]

no i didnt trim it. thought about it though. i think it looks fine. i need to re-trim the wheel well parts on the side a little more. no problem on the credit man, it was all you. thanks for sharin the info.

sorry for the night pics but i just got done and put it on. i think it looks good for $20. hell...my reiger lip cost 200 with shipping, and since ive lowered the vert, ive gotten a few cracks. the monthly bondo work was killing me. this is a great alternative for an affordable lip. hats off to CRIS for finding and sharing this.





ill take some pics tomorrow

looks really good....... How do you like it?
Is the lip sticking out a bit- hard to tell with the pictures. Did you trim the part of the lip that connects to the valance (the part that screws on to the valance)????
I forgot to mention that i trimmed a little bit off that piece about 1/8 of an inch - so it's vertically flush to the valance.
But i think either way looks good.

And thank you for the credit......much appreciated.

ive always thought of stealing my cousins 740i lip. never realized how good it would look. oh well i like my is lip.
