It's the lower valence off the 90-94 Volvo 740 and the 940

If you have basic hand tools and power tools and/or have access to tools it cost about
$10 - used Volvo lower valence
$5 - 25 pc self tapping screws

There is a site you can order a new Volvo lower valence replacement for about $70 shipped

It's up to you to decide if it's worth it

the idea is very easy
It's for you to decide if it is though
It's not that hard. just drilling it into place was tricky for me, cause It was hard to bend it, and hold it still.
I did it with the bumper off the car, and if you've ever taken our bumper off you would know its really big and really flimsy.

thank you very much. i think i might try it if i can find a nice used lip from a scrap yard or something. $15 is nothing and sounds awesome.

I think I'm actually going to run by the Pick-and-Pull on my way home from work today to grab one. It really is a great look for next to nothing.

were you able to find one?
If you haven't gone yet, if you take your tool's. bring a philips too..
I went and took a socket set, both metric and standard.
It ended up being held by philips head screws, so I had to Buy 1 from one of the out-of-a-van vendors there haha.
but take a socket set too, just incase

Thnx, ep3chris.
You find one yet man?!??

I'll just stack home depot lips together to make it look like the volvo lip :D

I didn't get a chance to go. Traffic was terrible. I figured it was held on with a phillips. All the VW's and BMW's are so I just assumed it was an European thing.

Thanks for the heads up.

If I find more than one at the junkyard this weekend then I'll probably post them up for sale on here.
