Volvo lip for e30

[apexpredator]

Just finished installing a Volvo lip on my e30
I know this has been done over and over, but if you're looking into it I'll put up a few pics from my install, or you can check out my blog for more info www.thate30guy.blogspot.com

How to install a Volvo lip:

Step 1: Throwaway Volvo lip
Step 2: Admire new-found manliness

I like it. Beats spending $100 for an IS lip.

well...it doesn't beat it. but c'mon, it looks okay.

Mounting it the way it was on the Volvo from factory looks 10x better, imo. Even if they're ziptied on and melted from exhaust flames... Give it a shot.

no it doesn't the flared bottom looks super dumb

pretty simple to do, trim 1/4 to 1/2 inch off where it meets valence. mark on lip where holes from clips are, drill out your marks, trim to fit at wheel wells. use zip ties to pull it in flush with valence. i left the two clips on by wheel wells to hold it tight. done

Yeah I know people some people hate the Volvo lip. If you have an extra 'is' lip laying around I'll take it. Haha. Personally, I don't mind it at all. Upside down or right side up. As far as the side flare goes, you can correct that. I haven't done it yet though
