it was only like $10 so yea i guess its worth it lol. the garage seal is rubber so its bendable and ****. you just need self tapping screws to secure it properly. its really not all that hard to put on. took about 15mins to do.

I happen to own a Volvo 940 and took the lip from it and installed it in my vert. It did require some cutting but no a lot. It came out really nice.

i like that better than the volvo cause it looks cleaner with the stock body. the volvo ones you need skirts or TII skirts with side diffusers

The 626 lip needs a bit of modification to fit properly, sides aren't long enough. But when done right it looks like it could have been a stock option.
740 lip does need some supporting body mods to look just right, but then again the lip itself fit's perfect.

Personally i'm going with the 740 lip and RE-A diffuser, should look good, tho i might need a skirt eventually.

The stock lip extends just as far as the 626 lip.
