volvo 740 lip...go ahead and trash your 626 lip
Picked this up at the junkyard afew weeks ago. From what I have found its off of a turbo 89-90.

*The sides are not bolted down





from what I have read on e30 websites they can still be bought pretty cheap new.

well there is a company that makes a lip for a 90+ 740 which might look good(only an outwardly angle.)

My modified 626 lip is super low as it is... this would definitely be sitting on the ground if it were on my car. I agree w/ Grip tho, looks like a glorified home depot lip to me.

Def looks better than any HD lip I have seen. I actually just ordered a new one of these cause I like it so much. I was going to make one similar to this from FG but abandoned the project a few months ago. Thanks for the heads up!

I prefer a little more style, even though it has SOME shape to it, it still looks like a flat piece of rubber and makes a older car look dated

but if you got a really low car and bash the crap out of the lip on a regular basis its a good deal and cheap

for the price of $5 at the junk yard it is perfect for what I want. It can also be used flipped upside down like e30 guys run it to make it look alittle more sporty
