Default 6LE CME install
My buddies Art and Jamie helped me install my cme valance I bought from Mark a couple of months back and I have to say it looks and fits great. Art installing his a few days earlier made it a lot smoother and I'm assembling the pipes/90°s/tips tomorrow on a lift and I'll throw some pics up tomorrow evening. Thanks 6LE, Art, Jamie, and Bill!

With Jamie and Art holding the valance up, I stood back and made sure it was centered and squared with the license plate; after it was centered we stuck the center on and worked our way outwardly. Once it was centered it took about 15 minutes to install.

Definitely not, lol. I didn't want to worry about being careful with fresh, delicate paint while fitting it and I had to have it on the car to have the 90's mocked up and welded. Thanks guys.

I'm going to have it blended as best it can be or at least just color-matched.
