    '87 is valence with euro bumpers?

    I bought some euro bumpers and im wondering if i can use my '87 is valence with the bumpers. I know most people use the euro valence but im trying to save some money. Thanks

    It might mount up, but it will look terrible. The euro bumpers are about 3/4 the height of diving boards, and the shrouds of boards fill in the gap even more. You will be left with HUGE gaps at the top and bottom of the bumper. If you were to shorten the valence that the airdam mounts to somehow, you might be able to make it work, but not in the interest of saving money.

      Not familiar with diving boards or U.S. shrouds, but I believe gap will only exist at bottom.

            I stil have the US front valance with an E lip on my 325 4 dr. I like the look alot and it NEVER scrapes with H&R Race springs. It is sooooo freaking awesome. I would rather do it that way.

              It would be super hard to pull off. If at all.

              Sold it.

                  I tried when I switched to euros, it will not work, I am rocking the US valance and E lip also untill I pull the trigger on mtech1 or Alpina.
