Thanks Justin and Carlos! Justin- you could put the valance and tips on dummy-style with your dumps lol. I saw that on here where a guy had TD's dumped but CME and the tips hanging on the back for the look. Thanks again guys.

I put mine on myself. Fitted it to the plugs near the wheel arch, centered it & worked outwards.
It looks perfectly centered just need to move the tips further out, but the only thing that's bugging me right now is that you can still see the white edges of the tape.
Did any of you do anything to hide it? the valance is right on the very edge of the bumper so don't think it'll go any further down & still stick.

Hopefully the paint will help blend/cover it. Mine is the same way.

Did you install the exhaust first then valance, or valance then fit exhaust on? Would it be better to have the valance painted before or after final install?

I personally would:

Test fit the valance....

Prep for paint...

Install the valance...

Paint the valance (this way you're painting any seen tape as mentioned earlier)...

Install the tips.

Tips are always last for sure.
