Trust me I won't forget about anyone that has posted up or sent me a PM, if I do I'm sorry. They'll be available to anyone once he becomes a sponsro. I have about 40 names down and about 20 people keep on posting in the threads.
I went last night to check out the new valence and for a rough test fitting.
The fabricator had to reinforce the stock piece with a lot of fiberglass to make the mold. The OEM valence was very thin and flimsy.
In this pic you can see that the new CME valence is roughly twice as thick as a stock piece. Its made in urethene and NOT fiberglass.
Here is the fit against the corner of the bumper. The edges will be tapered on the final product.
The studly looking guy on the left is me.
I hope to see the final product in a few weeks painted to match.

Oh okay so it fills in with the bumper better and easier for us to get it molded to the exsiting bumper. Thanks. (Side Note) you get your car back together yet? Mine is put off since i'm getting married in 7days,and have a year old baby to take care of and we want to sell our house in the next 2-3 years and move to NC. So my forged 355 will just have to wait. 
Thanks for helping us with the CME build. once i get the valance all i need is the pipe bends.
