possible to fix front valance dent?

[kevmac858]

like the title says, i bought my car with a decently sized dent on my front valance underneath the passenger-side foglight. i want to pull out the dent or find a way to fix it so my iS lip with fit flush with the rest of the valance. is there a way to just pull the dent or do i need to take it to a body shop or try and find one at the junkyard? i will try and get a decent picture of it but this kind of shows it. the valance is pushed up and the mounting area underneath is kind of curled up inside as well. any thoughts or ideas are appreciated

I have the exact same problem. I have been on a hunt for a white valance but almost all valances being sold are dented or dinged. I think it would be cheaper to find a new one then to try and get yours straightened. I dont think it will even be perfect.

is it possible to fix? yes
should you? no, it will be to expensive, better off replacing it with a used part

yeah i know thats what i'm thinking :( since my car is delphin grey, its almost impossible to find the same one so i might just buy an oem one and get it painted when i respray the whole car

I have a delphin front valence thats dent and rust free... how bad do you want it? :) Shipping from Pittsburg to California will prob be expensive...

dudeee i would love that. i'm not sure how much that would be because its kind of a strange shape and weight huh? ive never had to ship a big item so i have no idea

Judging by the picture up top you prob need the late valence. Unfortunately the valence I have is off of an 87 es which, correct me if I'm wrong, makes it an early model valence. Pm me if you are interested.

The valance you have is unfortunately different due to brake ducting and tow hook location.

eff. do you think i could get it pulled out at a body shop for cheap?

ECS tuning sells new ones for like $280 shipped :/

That could easily be fixed, even by yourself. The problem is you will need to repaint the valence afterward, and that is spendy.

fuhhh thats what i thought. maybe i will try to pull it out and if it doesnt work oh well. i need to repaint the whole car, but don't want to do it until i have all the body stuff i want first. probably towards the end of next summer
