what is the life expectancy..

[MR 325]

I don't know how you guys scrape on driveways so much, do you known that you can't pull in to them straight?

[MikeDE]

I'd be more worried about it being stolen.

[Eurospec]

if you want it to have a long life, drive carefully. low really has nothing to do with it

This man speaks the truf.

I've had mine for a number of years running h&r sports and it has never come off while driving. The ends (lowest points) are scrapped quite a bit though, however that's expected with aftermarket springs.

[mr.vang]

I was wondering this too because I'd rather lose some Volvo lips.

volvo lip are tough.

[yobless]

I've gone through 2 in about a year and a half...freeway debris is a killer.

Your car bottomed out won't be enough for it to ever touch the floor.
It's about how you drive and avoiding obstructions.

[freeride53]

I once destroyed a Volvo lip in less than a week at STOCK ride height
God damn iS lip is durable. Scratched up as hell, but durable (on billy sports/eibach prokit)

[warmseth]

Mine lasted three days. My driveway rips them off. Mine was loose and then came off on the freeway, got run over by dozens of cars and pretty wrecked then I recovered it and it's been in my trunk for a year. Lol

I've had mine for over a year of DD'ing and I have 2.5" clearance... How soft is your suspension? and how low? I'm on GC's so I dont travel that much, like said above, respect driveways, and worst thing you'll have to do is hop out and take it out from under your car. It's never hit during normal driving, only driveways have scraped it along with exhaust

[Raxe]

I've had mine since 2007, 3" clearance and still looks new.

[ZekeTheSneak]

Watch where you drive and how you drive. Mine sits around 2 inchs from the ground and it only scrapes leaving parking lots. Your oil pan will stop the car before the lip i believe :)

[VinniE30]

My zinno e30 still has the iS lip that I put on when I first bought it. Only a small scratch.

My schwarz e30 lost 1 iS lip driving in a really bad storm hitting a pothole but that was completely my fault due to not buying new clips. The one on it now has new clips and is going strong.

Don't get a volvo lip they look like shit. The iS lip isin't even expensive. Seriously don't be a cheapass, do you want your car to look like eurotrash or a classy vintage bmw? The iS lip is the single upgrade to an e30 as far as looks go, it's not expensive for what it is.

[bastianshaw]

Do you respect potholes and speedbumps?

i respect the pothole, yes.
respect
respect

My car has had the same lip and splitter since 2004.

Seals the deal for me.
