    Valence identification

    I've been trying to piece together which valences go with which front spoiler (air dam). Which year/series (es/is) etc. goes with which of these valences? If you can, post pics of the spoiler that fits the valence for clarity


    1.)



    2.)



    3.)

          1: 86-87 US valance. Lip will be solid or will have cut out in the middle for an oil cooler. Or the whole valance will be covered by the "cow catcher" es/is air dam (Valance is upside down in the OPs picture lol)
          2: 84-85 US valance. Lip will have brake ducts.
          3: 88+ Valance.


          1:

          with es/is airdam



          2:


          3: with an is lip


          3: with I lip

            Huh. Why would the earliest early model come with brake ducts and then it would be lost in the 86-87.
