Sorry, no fat chicks here... I daily my car like that, it is just another style of driving you have to get used to, but i enjoy it. And if i saw pictures of your car, im sure my first thoughts would be lower it.

I was looking at it last night saying it needed to be lower, but it scrapes as it is in driveways and even on some streets, the exhaust sometimes on rough roads.

My coupe had coil overs and it would scrape on everything, got a bit annoying

Roads must be better in those areas; I couldn't make it out of my driveway, much less around town ANY lower than I am, and I have a solid 2.5-3" from the ground to my front bumper. Shoot, my BMW is 4.5" up, and I still scrape in some areas.

I scrape my daily all the time, and its even higher, there are enough things to worry about when driving the RX7 around then scraping the thing all over the place

you guys must have some really **** roads where you are from!!

only problem i have with scrapping things and that is only over speed bumps and that is if they are big ones.. have adjusties and 18x9 18x10's and it sits just like 1low7's and i can drive around my area fine as day!

It works, you just have to drill your own holes just like if it were right side up.

Not sure what I'd be excusing anyway, my car looks great, I have no desire to lower it any more than it already is.

It's not race car style either. I work with professional racers. Their **** isn't put together half ***. I get that people like it, more power to them. I'm glad they have found a way to make their cars look like they want them to for 500 bucks and some zip ties. Just don't expect everyone else to love the look; if your street car can't make it up my driveway, it's not functional.

Nothing on Ebay. There are all types of volvo part dealers on the web, I can't find one who sells the lip. Dude who posted made it sound like he found an on-line dealer, not ebay, who sold them for $84 shipped. He never responded to my PM.

Found on ebay under front valance/spoiler.

yeah, there are more than several available on ebay if you don't want to hit up the junkyard. just look up "front lower valance". here's an example.

cool fitment by the way.
