    Re-painting my front RD valance:

    Hey,

    i was wondering if i could repaint my front valance with-out taking it off, is that possible? i really like the fitment of it right now, and i don't want to mess it up. do you think if i take it to a body shop they will be able to paint my front+rear valances with-out taking them off?

    thanks.

    yes but thats not the right way. If it fits now you'll be able to get it to fit later. rip it apart!:p

          Whats wrong with not taking it off?

          You can tape off the bumpers and put a cover on the rest of the car. If you have a shop take them off your paying more for labor. A good shop will know where to put the tape.
