    How to fix bent valence?

    My valence towards the bottom near the lip is slightly bent. It is noticeable because the lip doesnt align with the valence and theres a gap. Also its right in the middle of the car... How do you guys suggest me to get at this problem with home tools?

    With mine, I whacked at it with a rubber mallet until I got it as straight as I could. Once you bend them, it's damn near impossible to get them back to perfect. But try that and see how close you can get it.

    I was able to get it to look pretty decent (PO had a front end collision that messed up the valence, fender, and hood), but I didn't think it was good enough so I ended up buying a replacement off of Sam (Mossman).

      Pictures of the damage?

      Otherwise it's hard to tell. Genuine body work requires the appropriate dollies and hammers/picks/stops, ect... But, I've done some quick body work that looked damn good for what it was with vice grips, channel locks, rubber mallet, 2x4 board, ball ping and a drywall hammer.
      Need a part? PM me.
