          That's faded Sterling Silver. ;)

          Looks good. Black out the brake ducts and the headlight and high beam surrounding rings, and it'll look even better! :D

            Actually it was repainted at some point... not even sure if it's a factory color. I do plan on painting the rings! The lip was a bit more of a pain than I thought it would be but it was worth it, it's almost 2" lower than the i and how can you beat $15?? Those were the first things I've changed/modded on my e30 so far, came out well I think... and I might be slightly addicted already after 2 months of ownership. Just need a bike rack!

            edit: side markers/blinkers will be tinted as soon as I get my NiteShades in the mail this week! will update with pics asap.

                  I liked it a lot better before. The volvo lip just looks so cheap. The i lip is a lot cleaner.

                      how did you reinforce the lip?

                          Nice change, I preferred the i lip too though! Lights look good.

                              I remember this car at the San Diego BBQ you had just got it. Its looking really good i like how everything came out. And also i agree with TAK7 i think the headlight rings should go black also. Take pix and repost cuz i would like to see if you do get to painting them ....Keep up the good work .
