          The metal valance is different? I was sure that it was just a plain old stock valance the eS airdam was bolted too.

            Me too. I can't see a difference between mine and a non-S car.

                I'm pretty sure the valence is the same also. I am going with a plain eta air dam on my 89 vert because I'm not running an oil cooler on my m30 and I donated my stock lip to my son's car which was missing the lip. The lip with no opening for cooler is a little cleaner looking and reduces drag coefficient by .ooooo1;)

                  Valance is the same....

                  The early stock front end can look sexy if done right:

                    the black rubber/lip is different, 84-86 are shorter and will not bolt to a 87 valance.

                      84-85 is different from 86-87. Since he has an eS, he can run the later style lip but not the early.

                          But there is a non-S lip to replace the nice es/is air dam, so it's still bolt on. Just has to match his year.

                            Yes, thats what I'm trying to say but wanted to point out that the 84-85 lip and valance is different.
