Lol, Thanks!!
I thought you were gonna make fun of my "Frankenstein" looking exhaust.
This is actually a good pic of the blending job too! The guys who've worked on my car were pretty awesome. This particular guy also created my friends CME, but with Corsa tips.

Valances will be sold on my site for $375, normally most shops charge $200 to blend so you're looking at $575. OR, you could just buy an entire bumper that we make WITH built in CME AND etched "CETA" stylings...

I had mine blended back in 06 and it's held up just like a stock piece. I did my research and took it to the best body shop I could find who did it the right way with the flex additives. As for cost I guess you guys are lucky as having all the work done along with painting my slp grille cost me $700... That didn't include the valence either.

mine was only $150 painted/blended iirc...done the same as Sommers, riveted every ~3" and filled, primed, sanded, repeat, paint. If they use a proper quantity of flex additive and good prep, it'll last as long as any of the other painted areas of your car.
but hey, different strokes. I like it, and that's all i care about
oh, and the shop actually wanted to blend it, the owner hated how it came out with just the 3M tape so he called me to the shop to look at it...i agreed and told him blend it
