I've finally had the chance to remove my rear bumper to mount and blend my 6LE CME valance. I'm doing some final sanding and blending of the filler to make things like factory.









Now here's where I'm stuck and can't figure out. I bought a set of 6LE dual plane splash guards but for the life of me cannot figure these things out. I think I figured out the right sides. But the guards don't match the bumpers curves. I'm lost. Any help would be great.

How did you attach the valance to the bumper on the backside?

If I can't figure out how to mount the guards I might put them up for sale.

Sommer86 I used Lord Fusor plastic adhesive on all the mounting surfaces. I pulled the double sides tape and glued everything to the bumper.

I have the splash guards as well and havent mounted them yet because i am in the same boat you are, but i believe you have them right, at least that is the way i figured when i got mine.

also, did you get any hardware with yours? it says they come with hardware on the website, but i didnt recieve any.

hopefully 6le will chime in

No hardware just two guards. I'll have to pm one of those guys and have them chime in the thread for us. I really like them but it's not clear on how they mount.

hmmm, yea they are nice pieces, just seems wierd they dont come with mounting hardware and instructions.

This is what I got back from Mark at 6LE:
Rear splash guards (behind the tire) or canards (in front of the tire? For the rear you just put them where you want them and then use self tapping screws...

So once I get this bumper back on the car I'll be mounting the splash guards soon after.

Almost there. Temperatures warmed up and the bumper looks like its going to go right on now.

Anyone who ordered from us and didn't get hardware let us know and we'll send... Anyone who bought second hand (or in a rush) they are just self tapping sheet metal screws.

cant wait to see the finished bumper with the splash guards installed!

since the bumper isn't done yet, you should do what we did.... Put screws/rivets every 2-3 inches across the inside of the bumper (where the valance meets the bumper). That way the full weight of the valance isn't just on some glue and filler. And no cracking will occur.

Okay thanks for the advice seems pretty sturdy but any insurance I can do to keep things right. I will do that for sure.

Looking good. I brought my valence last year and still haven't got to it yet.

From us?! Valances ship within 5 business days normally...

I think he means that he has not installed it yet.

I was saying I brought from you guys last year and I haven't installed it yet. Hopefully I'll get it installed this spring.

I still have my dual exhaust valence I bought years ago (that fedex broke in half...) that still has yet to go on my car I've been tempted to just buy another one that is urethane though (mine is fiberglass) as that would be better to blend with the bumper. I was told by a shop that trying to blend dissimilar materials like urethane and fiberglass can lead to cracking later.

My shop told me that too, but it can be done. I know a couple guys who have done it. You just need to be a bit more careful.
