    Molded on late model valence

    So I cut the rear apron (part of the body) off a late model e30 and painted/molded it onto my early model. This is how it came out.

    After (Along with Taurus Skirts) :

      Nice. I've been wanting to do this for a while.
      Roughly, how much does the rear valance weight?

            Nice, any more pics of the actual body work? I am interested in doing this. I think it looks so much better than aftermarket valances as far as diving board bumpers go.

                      Here is what a 1988 e30 looked like. Note the updated tail lights but metal bumpers.

                          I like early model tails though.
