    new lip

    So my E30 was missing the lip when I got it. There is none in the yards in my area so I made one fit. It's from a Mk.3 Golf/Jetta. I had to trim the sides and cut all the tabs off. I just ran a couple screws into the valence. Looks pretty good for free...

    Looks like you cut it in the center too. Did you?

      no it's a two piece lip.

      i figured that would fit too,
      i had a vr6 lip from an mk3 on my former zinno.
      same setup, cut some tabs and trimmed the sides.
      you should've centered the junction of the two piece with the center of the oil cooler cover..

      good work nonetheless

        They come cut in the center from the factory, from what I understand.

          Ya, I know. I put the one side on crooked so it through the whole thing off.

            Looks good. I may have to do that. It almost looks like an i lip, but deeper.

              It looks great for free, infact I honestly like that look better than the "is" lip because of how its flat and its deeper than the standard "i" lip. Deff something I would consider if I had a late model.

                  That's not true, they are huge. However I do like the 2.0L lip you've got there. It does fit pretty well. I'm not a fan of the slit down the middle but there's not thing you can do about that.

                    Same here. I've been thinking about getting one of these. I still want a lip in the front, but I'm kind of tired of the Reiger, it sticks out too damn far.

                          That looks good. Much better than those terrible volvo lips.
