Front Valance *PICS* Update Painted

I have always wanted to replace the front factory GFX with a valance that goes all the way across. I never liked any of the aftermarket ones but found this one on ebay and it was cheap enough and thought I would get it and see what it would look like. I'm still thinking about it. Keep in mind I will paint it Pewter if I go with it. Thoughts are welcome. First picture is what the car looks like with the factory ones.

*********Update*************
Got it painted and taped it on there to see what it looked like. I like it better than the factory ones. I think I'm going to add a carbon fiber grille. I think it will flow good with the black headlights and parking lens.

Took some pictures outside today to get a better view. I think I'm going to get it painted and see what it looks like. If I don't like it and I can take it off.

I'm not a fan of the kit all around. But I will say it looks better with the new lip than the first picture, IMO.

Seems to flare out a lot looking kinda pancaky on the sides but other than that I like it.

I think it would be OK if it wasn't for the really weird looking flare on the sides that sticks way out. Makes it look awkward IMO.

Agreed - I liked it a lot more than the OE ones (the two piece always drove me nuts) until I saw the head-on shot.

If it didn't flare out so wildly on the sides that would look really good

I think it looks good but honestly I would prefer the rest of the kit painted black to match it rather than the pewter.

Yessir that looks great. My coworker just got the RK sport front piece to put on his RS effects equipped Z28. I think it looks so much better then factory.

Honestly I think it looks dull with the solid one piece, the factory stuff kinda plays off the hood better I think and looks amazing in my opinion.

Either way you have a gorgeous car and it's up to you man.

My honest opinion..too flared out. I personally love the rk sport one. Loved it so much I had it molded on my ta. Looks great and subtle.

I would like it better if it were more like a flat splitter on the bottom, like the 6LE one.

Car looks badass with the new front valence IMO, looks twice as good as the two piece rs ground effect. I never did like the factory 2 piece. Looks great now
