They just need to not hold it's structural integretiy so well.
The volvo lip, keeps it's shape good, but its really flimsy, which is why it's so easy to work with.
Other volvos in the same time frame, had different lips that were a MUCH stiffer plastic. Probably would have been really hard to fit on a Honda.
But I walked in n out of all the different cars, trying to find other lips.
The volvo seems to be the only one.
The others I saw, had too much "shape" to them, which made them model specific, in my opinion.
ep3chris, any luck on the lip in canada?
No, no luck in Canada.....:mcry: i just got the OEM mudflaps and the Hood Bra, but its still missing the lip, I haven't tried Car stuff yet, probably gonna give em a call tomorrow, if they ship to Canada, ill be good, but hopefully theres not to much shipping charges on it cause theres only ground shipping available....Quote:

pics of the new lip.
Dropped on skunk2's 2.5 front, 2.25 rear.
No paint, I dig the oe plastic uneven flat grey/black look :)
ep3chris, I might be going to a different Pick-A-Part within this week or next week.
If you want, I can ship it out to you at no additional cost.
I'll find out how much it is to ship through my Pop's work.
The lip will most likely cost $9.95 US dollars plus 9.75% CA taxes.
And I doubt you'd ask but no I will not go less than that. That is how much the Pick-A-Part will most likely charge me.
The one in Ontario, CA charged me that.
I'll be going to Monrovia, CA, which will probably charge me the same if I can find one.
Just installed mine. Was super easy and looks awesome IMO. Thanks for the DIY. Ill try and post some pics later.
i only got it for $5.10 there when i had itQuote:

One of the best you've seen?
You really need to go to an ep3 meet. hahaha
Thanks though!
check out the members rides chapter
Sweet ep's in there
I don't have any side shots, but I will soon.
I just got myself a roof rack for my bike so once that's installed I'll take some more pics
lol, looks great man! i was just kidding about that "best looking" EP3. :tehehyper: Don't get me wrong, yours looks pretty dam bitchin'! infact, that shot you just took is now my new computer background. lol, great job buddy! Just looking at the picture, whats with the "Even Slower than before"???
Oh haha my friend put it as a joke.
Just cause it doesn't really add aerodynamics, like the other kits
ctr, mugen, hfp, etc
And I don't have any mods so its already slow, and the lip just adds 4 pounds :D
hahhha
But in reality it probably keep less air from traveling under the car, which would mean aero wise, its improved
Less air under the car is good, but you also want whatever goes under there to get out asap! :mwink:Quote:
