I got my pignose lip for $10 bucks, so do the math. Go to a wrecker, and repaint with a spray can, easy as fack.

junkyard fee - $2 lip - $10 spray paint - $6 screws - $2 =$20 |
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.
|

|

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 volvo lip and t2 sideskirts
with these https://www.rx7club.com/chaser-aero-279/feeds-style-undersides%3B-carbon-fiber-carbon-kevlar-fiberglass-924296/ would look soo sick with a diffuser. straight up clean street car look |

My lip was off of a 940
|
The 626 lip in the picture I posted had one hole modified. It will bolt up to stock. Jetta mk3 lips work but I bet they'll need some modification. A s-10 lip would make the car a street sweeper.

my homemade lip
Well, this one is a little more labor intensive, but i made this in my garage with some fiberglass stuff from wal-mart, some styrofoam from hobby lobby, and aluminum foil and stuff... sorry i don't have any pictures at the moment but you can kind of see it in this video.
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-P3kBeFewAg?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-P3kBeFewAg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> It's flexible enough not to crack. I scrape it leaving my driveway all the time, and it's handled it just fine. |

BBerry's real homemade lip is pretty sweet.
i thought about making a front diffuser for the s4's but it was harder than i thought. |
Made using black diamond edging. its used to edge out garden/flower beds.

these garden edgers and garage door guards look pretty much just like that, at least go for a lip from another car and make it work
|
[QUOTE=TheAbsence;10288143]I had to drill 10+ of my own holes in the 626 lip for mine to line up with the stock mounting position. I don't know how you only had to modify 1 hole.
Well, at first. Then finished product had 3 holes modified two near the brake ducting and one in the middle. |
I agree with rob. A lip from a different car is Ok but these damn garden lips... it belongs in your yard not on your car.
|
where do you guys find your 626 lip at? junkyard? internet?
