PM me pics of what the bumper looks like...i may be interested

[sdcabrio]

Congrats! Fix that valence and you'll be looking pretty damn good. I'm a fan of the euro plates. You have plastic bumpers so get the euro trim, too.

from as far as I can remember, the ix doesn't take lowering easy... you will be replacing the front axle drive boots every 2-3 month if you lower the car, at least I was with my 2 previous ix when I lowered them...

[Sour_Kraut]

interesting very interesting VLAD!
Nice ix dude.

[E30trash]

great care and welcome! fix that front valence and get yourself an "is" lip!
don't lower it unless your willing to fix the cv boots every couple of months, with 16's or 15's and a different lip that car could look awsome without a drop!

sexay gray carpet!

nice car! def. fix the valance, but otherwise it doesn't look like you have much to do.

definatley look into dropping it if you can, it can be done, but an ix dosent like to be dropped, shit starts to break.

man, shut the hell up if you don't have a clue, please?

~3 years 45,000 miles, tons of autox and I've never once ripped a boot. wtf were you doing to your car?

lol thanks for the encouragement nando. I hope to give it a shot and replace my old CV boots when and if i decide to install the shocks/springs.

Do you reckon I can hit the valence back into place w a rubber mallet or something? lol, i dont feel like paying a body shop...

Does the is lip cover the afflicted area?

[nando]

I don't think that would work, in fact I'm not sure it's even worth trying to repair it. replacing it with a good used one and having it painted would probably be cheaper/easier. the is lip connects to the bottom of the valance, but you wouldn't even be able to mount it because it's so mangled on the drivers side.

fix valence buys ellips and pm me when you need IX parts I have a ton

Im gunna go ahead and say no aswell. That metal isuber strong, and even if you did manage to heat it and start moving it, you would never get it perfect enough to put a lip on there nice.

Glossy red paint, 2 door, 5 speed... that is one awesome iX.

Don't bother trying to fix the valance, its nearly impossible to bend/fix, and they are cheap to replace.

When it comes to iX's, listen to nando, he knows his shit.

enjoy your purchase
