    Previous owners... I hate your driving.

    I have been driving this car for awhile now and am finally starting to be bothered by the amount of body damage. Ill post pictures of all spots that bother me, but the main one is the first photo of the rear valance. I do not have money to buy a replacement. But I do have time and tools, so I am looking for advice and opinions on how to fix it.

    Rear valance:



    Quarter panel:



    Front end:





    Any thoughts are welcome. And remember, this damage was already here upon buying the car.

    I don't even notice the dents because those style 5's look so nice!

        I can't provide info about fixing that, but I can say I feel your pain with regard to PO abuse. Here are some of the wounds on my car:

                Anyone have any experience fixing something like the rear valance, due to that is the most bothersome.

                    How much does a rear valence go for?

                      yeah man same here.. my rear valance passes the 20ft test but up close you can see bondo marks, etc. front is bent as well.

                      guess that just means it's time for mtech 2 :)

                        I guess I got off easy, worst so far was the bullet holes.
