The seams will be ground/sanded smooth, then polished to a mirror shine.

They're still on the drawing board, but they will be made.

*Please be patient, I'm not working on them for another week or so, I still have to buy/borrow an actual Valance to send off for the fiberglass molds, and the CME so I can take to the fab shop.

If anyone wants to "rent" a valnce/CME I'm game, or I'll just buy one and sell it after the jig/molds are made.

Would you be willing to make a custom one for me?

I've sold 25 of the CME valances over the summer/fall and I planned on keeping one for myself but I ended up selling my personal one as well because it just didn't do it for me in stock form.

Lets get this made.. I would rather pay you decent money for replicas than pay an ungodly amount of coin for the SLP cme!!

Will the tips have a rolled edge? I don't care for the stainless ones currently being made because it gets lost in the valence since it is just a thin stainless edge and not a rolled tip like the thick lips on the cast tips.

Rolled edge baby! "SLP clone," except highly polished and they wont split down the center divider like the factory cast part.

Price? I've heard some really high numbers on the few remaining pieces, but if any of you know me.... I'm not about the money.

There are some technical issues to sort out.. I could fill this page with all the varibles that have to be decided on.... I'll figure 'em out though...

Once it's mounted on the car... why would it have to resist bending?

Bending a painted part will just crack/spiderweb the paint.

Will be? I think he's already damn close if not already. from the stuff that i've heard from the customers of Josh, he does amazing work for amazing prices.

Hopefully if he's still in the business of making the Corsa clone tips, I will be doing business with him soon...are you? lol
