Blending the CME valance ....

What do you guys think ??? Should I go ahead and do it ?? I seen only one car, a member here I believe, with that done.

How much should I be paying ? Just to have a ballpark number.

Opinions welcome!

I'm looking to do the same thing and apparently it's quite the process. I've been quoted 475 and 600 at two shops that I really think would do a good job with it.

Best shop in town quoted me 550, probably getting it done in the next couple of weeks. Looks totally badass.

I thought about that, but how hard would that be?

bondo won't crack if you use it correctly. Of course, packing it on layer after layer, sure it will crack.

That would be cool to have done because I always get little pebbles stuck between it and the bumper. I'm not sure if I can even get them out short of removing the valence to avoid small scratches.

The guy that gave me my estimate was adamant that the valence be an OEM piece so it would match up with the bumper as he said the epoxy they use would essentially make the two pieces one. He could have been blowing smoke up my wahoo but the shop was reccommended by a lot of people in my local car club.
