    coyote killed my IS lip last night what lip should i get?

    well last night i seen a strut tower bar for sale local for 20bucks so i had to go get it. on the way home it was dark going about 120kph i think the guy in front of me hit the coyote and killed it then i nailed it. it was huge too by the time i seen it it was way to late to do any thing. all I could do was hold on. after i nail him, I pull over and get out to look under the car see if hes still there or if there's any thing hanging on. Then i remember the front lip. its not there so i back up to where i hit it. There's the lip in the road, still looks to be all there but there's cars coming so i couldn't run out to get it. I stood on the side of the road watching the coyote and the front lip get run over pieces of the coyote and lip flying apart. I was so pissed then i run over to get what left but it was a waste of time. so i didn't get that much of a deal on the strut tower bar after all. so I'm not sure what to get for a new lip. I'm thinking about the Rieger Infinity Front Lip any suggestions on a lip or where to buy one?

    Here is my car....before it lost the IS lip it also has hartge side skirts

      I got my Rieger off of this guy. It was around $160 shipped at the time. I found it easier to call him then to email him. He is in Canada.

          just remember its fiberglass so one scrap and your lip will crack. I would get another factory is. better quality and cheaper.

              Volvo lips look retarded, the flare out on the sides and look like they belong on something else. Just stick with an is lip, they're cheap and they work (no zipties, no bullshit.)

                  Actual riegers are abs... about 1/8 thick, pretty crappy thin. But they look badass on e30's. Dunno bout eurostyle but abraham has the real riegers, still has the tag on the inside in german. The other company may be fiberglass, cuz I recall hearing about a company that made one identical to the rieger but in fiberglass in canada.

                    Unless you rock different color body panels. It's totally alright if that's the case.

                            You can fix the flair...

                            But i would agree with an is lip over a rieger... if the volvo bugs you that much.

                              Yea, Abraham's are ABS, but I'm pretty sure they're replicas still, I've heard talk about how real Rieger lips are fiberglass and break easily.

                              And I'm sure we've gone over this, but Kent? Where in Kent? And what does your car look like?
