well its sort of a toss up on the front valence. the IS lip had long ago fell victim to a raccoon or possum , or curb.
theres a junkyard that i MUST visit on Normandy Blvd in jacksonville everytime i go there. anyway, i went looking for some parts and saw what had to be the nicest E30 ive ever seen in person with rear collision damage.
on top of that it had the black interior ,$*&*$&$, which i didnt have enough cash for (leather by the way)double %$(%(*%(, so i pillaged it for the dash , and the front valence .
i didnt know at the time that it wouldnt be a direct swap, so i grabbed it , because up untill that point i had never even seen an ES , so i thought this front clip was totally badass.
i had considered getting the is lip and repairing it back to OE status, ( i bought a set of foglights for it there a few weeks earlier), but i knew i had to have it , and after i saw all the discussion over will it fit??will it fit??? , i slapped it on there, been happy ever since.
finding foglights for it proved to be a bitch........i had to turn to ebay for those.
by the way , i found E-30 mecca in savannah GA, theres a J-yard there with at least 12-15 E-30s in it, but im calling dibs on the 87 ES front clip i saw the other day..... my 86 E project car needs it reeeeeaalll bad.
