new late model valances for under 100

[rede30]

bavarian auto recycling has new late model valances for under 100 on ebay. I don't know if they have always had these but it seems like a great deal. Looks like they sell them and they are made by Pre-fit. I can't find much info on Pre-fit, maybe a new company, maybe even Bavarian auto Recycling. I have read some rough reviews for BAR over the years but i have never needed to deal with them so who knows. I think I would try one of these valances.

I have that valance. Fit was great, just like OEM. I would put OEM clips in it rather than the ones they supply. Brake ducts and fog deletes fit with no problems. The center oil cooler grizzle needed a little work to fit snug. but it wasnt anything hard that required cutting and welding. Maybe 2 mins worth of work.
The metal does seem a little on the thin side. I think its from nto having any undercoating on it. All in all Im very pleased with what I got for the money.

Definitely a lot cheaper than the almost $300 price tag of the OEM valance.

And cheaper than the used bent ones people sell.

Seriously, it took me FOREVER to find a perfectly straight one when I facelifted my car.

Looks good, but is that gap between the bumper and valence normal? Would OEM be a bit more snug? Just curious.
