Quality & Craftsmanship on 6LE CME Valance? Hello!
I will eventually be using a CME Setup, but haven't figured out if I should start looking for an OEM Valance or pick up a 6LE Valance. My biggest concern is quality, fitment and overall satisfaction with 6LE's CME Valance.
If anyone has any input on both the OEM CME Valance and the 6LE Valance, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Guys,
Jim

Jim,
Ive heard they fit pretty good, just need primed and painted from what Ive read. Although unless you find OEM, 6LE is the only aftermarket. PM me if you do purchase it. Wouldnt mind taking a look in person.

I don't know if 6LE uses the same mold as the one that I had the previous CME sponsor make but if he does everything should be fine. Even then I haven't seen a complaint about his cme valances. The valance is thicker than the SLP piece and to me that is a good thing, as the trade off in fitment is minimal. I've shipped a couple of SLP pieces and one of them arrived damaged because they aren't very flexible. The thickness of the 6LE valance helps it and it could probably take quite a bit more pounding than the SLP piece.

Thanks for the input everyone, I'll do a little more research on it, but I'll try to keep an eye out for one.
@Shiznit: I'm pretty sure I saw your listing, and its a fair price, however, I'm only looking for a valance at the moment because I'm getting body panels together before I apint my Z28, but thanks for the consideration.

Here's Marks email, madelisle@yahoo.com, shoot one to him and I'm sure he'll work it out. Mark has great customer service, everything I have ordered from him has arrived in a timely manner, even my CME tips that had to be hand welded arrived in a week and a half...

My tip is the 3" model and i was impressed by the quality of it. The valance was a horse of a different color. It was thin and poor quality. I had my body guy blend it into the bumper and he said it was the pain in the *** cause it was flimsy. After all the magic was worked, I am happy with the set up tho.
I too have had problems when ordering items from 6LE. My exhaust tip came in a few days time and the valance took a few weeks. I then ordered rims from him, and that was a fiasco as well. They were backordered for weeks and then 3 rims showed up and UPS lost the 4th. When the 4th rim showed up, it was bent, then I had to wait for a replacement one. I understand thats not really Marks fault, but it seemed like everytime I ordered something, something went wrong. But I can say, Mark was very good at keeping me informed and trying to work to remedy each situation.
Bottom line, if you have the money, time and patience for this, youll be fine. Not to mention hes pretty much the only AM guy offering this set up.

there are some parts that are not made until the order is process/paid for.
if you have been trying to pm him he has disabled his pms, his email address is well known all over this board... and im sure his number is floating around as well...
he wont bs you around, if there is a problem and you inform him about it, then he will do anything in his power to rectify it...
you need to give more info before bad mouthing a good sponsor and a friend of mine
hell pm me, my pms work and i will do what i can to help you out

Wow, I honestly didn't mean for this type of Conversation to break out, I just wanted to know a few things.
However, After hearing several good things about 6LE's products, I will eventually purchase a Valance through him. Only unfortunate thing is, is that by the time I have money to purchase the Valance, he either won have/make them anymore, or they wont be only $300 : (

"Since I am a man of my word the SS emblem and free emblem will be on their way Fed Ex on Sunday..."
Here's the body of e-mail (again, read from bottom to top)...
