    1987 E30 rear valance/apron options with a plastic bumper already installed

    I've looked through quite a few threads, however none seem to answer my somewhat unusual question. With a 1987 325es with plastic bumpers installed, what are my options with the rear valance? I don't like the "thin" look of the rear end. Would this or this work, even though I no longer have the diving boards on? To me it seems like they would not end up meeting the bumper properly. Should I instead be looking along the lines of this, or any other product made for late model plastic bumpers?

    TL;DR: Ideally, I'd like to have the rear end of it looking as close to a late model as possible. While I do understand that the late models don't have a separate valance, I'm just confused as to whether I should be looking for a valance/apron made to fit an early model or a late model to be used on my early model vehicle with a late model plastic bumper.

    Sounds like your looking for a late m tech 2 or acs valence. In that case your gonna have to shorten the valence like the bumper.

      The ACS is for a late model as well, no? And it requires shortening from going too deep towards the wheel well, correct? I have zero experience with cutting fiberglass. Is it something that can be accomplished with a Dremel?
