Cme help Trying to install a CME on my Z28, but the valance seems to be a little long at the wheel opening by about an inch on both sides. The valance has three ear tabs, part number is 11059, im not sure if its supposed to extend like that, but the contours around the rear fit real nice. The Body Shop wasnt sure so i thought I'd ask the experts here. Any help would be appreciated

I would compare pictures of one properly installed and compare to where the body shop is placing it on the bumper. I believe it sits a way up on the rear bumper, about a inch below the licence plate cut out.

im not sure what u mean? a pic might help. when i installed mines i put the ends by the wheel well first then worked my way into the middle after. u might just be putting the valance too low down the center of the bumper to start with that your making the tips by the wheel well look longer than they really are.

^ Exactly!
Place the Valance onto the bumper and move it up until both ends fit snug, you can then make a mark so you know where it needs to be when peeling the tape off. It does sound like it is being installed too low on the bumper which is causing the issue you are having.
Unless the CME Valance you got was molded incorrectly.
Good luck man!
