ok, lets not focus on how BIG the *** is... but more-so on how nicely it's shaped...

I used Lord Fusor to bond the valance but left the seam.

6le your not planning on not making those valences much longer are you... im still in the proceess to buy them and wish i had the money to take advantage of your sale but im a full time student with a part time job, and want to make sure you will still have some in about 1-2 months...

i think both looks great, cant go wrong either way with the cme unless your shop just really fucked up your valence! all these cars with the CME is ****** sick!

There was a problem months ago with the vendor who made these disappearing but we've since started making them in house and have no plans to stop so no worries

can someone post a pic of the fitment of the valance on the front of the bumper, just behind the rear tire?

does the valance wrap around the bumper, or sit underneath it?

i'm thinking the dealership screwed my install!

thanks
tony

Not a very good pic but it's all I have right now. As designed the front edge of the valance wraps around the front edge of the rear wheel opening. I didn't like the way it looked so I blended the valance into the bumper at the opening. Basically I just made sure there was plenty of Fusor behind the front edge when I bonded it, then I just ground the front lip off leaving it flush with the wheel opening.

Of those who have blended their CME valance, has anyone 'filled' the rocker panel seam to match?

IMHO, this simple 'fill' would make it tie in together nicely.
