Facelift rear valence on pre-facelift??

[MikeDE]

So what's involved and does anyone have pics?? I haven't measured the height of the pre-faclift euro bumper vs. that of the facelift plastic bumper. Which one is taller? Are there any pics floating around....thanks.

thats a lot of work... just do a zender or RD or mtech rep rear valance.
I did the RD on my 88 and love it.

Yeah, it's a lot of work, so don't do it. :roll:

I did it, it's really not that hard. And it doesn't look like a bolt-on body kit part when it's done. It looks OEM.

I was assuming he was talking about the metal valance on the post facelift cars... cutting this off and welding? With time skill and patience the average DIYer could get this done but slapping on an AM valance might get you where you want with a lot less headache. to each his own.

I got my RD valance here on this site used (but never mounted) for $200 shipped.
