I never personally saw the appeal of the 2OTL...

To each their own, I say. I love my CME, so it's isn't going anywhere. Well, that and it's blended to the bumper, lol.

I'd have to agree with you there. I'm still trying to decide DE valence or CME though.

I actually got a GREAT deal. I paid $200 for the blending at one shop. Then I went to my paint shop after to get it painted. I think painting the rear was another $200-ish.

Expect to pay around $300-$450 to get it all done.

Just have to catch me while I'm generous so you have about a 24 hour window until some tenant pisses me off again, lol!
awesome! I was just inquiring about it now, I'm still buying parts for my engine ATM but I'll def order one before I put it on the road this spring!

Can you post some pics of your 2OTL, please?

And once again there will be a sweet 6LE one-off out there.
sure, you can see the turn down from low angles but this valance will take care of that!

mine sounds SO much meaner w/ a turn down on the e-cut out than the standard borla pass side pipe

Default Got it in, but not on yet

The solid valance came in last night. I test fit and took some pics...but they came out crappy - not enough light/flash. Anyway it is being painted right now. Should have it on by Saturday at the latest. Will post pics as soon as complete.

Default Almost done

Here are the pics. I am still tweaking a couple things but it is almost done.
Thanks to 6LE for making this. I really dig the way it is looking. I tried to hang it as low as possible so I popped a couple rivets in it make sure it stays put. Will get those blended later.
Enjoy the pics.

It's got the $5 rattle can deluxe paint right now. I need to hit it with some more when I get totally done. I hope to have it blended in a couple months and get a real paintjob on it. Take whatever pics you need. I will try to get some better ones once I het everything finished. Thanks again for making this. It was the missing link I was looking for back there.

You look at this...



...and you think, "Ok, that looks nice but it just looks like a factory bumper, what's the big deal?"

Then you see the before...



...and you're like, "Holy **** it needs a valance!!!"

If you can get some pics from the side of the car and a few that show how well the valance blends I would really appreciate it. Looks great though
