    Early ES/IS Valance mounting bracket source?

    I am aware the OEM mounts are NLA, but not long ago there was somebody making reproductions and selling them on ebay for about 150 a set (well the 3 pieces i need) i havnt been able to find them on ebay anymore and cant remember who it was that made them. Does anybody know who made them or have a link? i don't really feel like making another set from sheet metal if i can avoid it.

    There's a guy Chuck that makes them, but he hasn't had a batch in a while. It would seem that there's no reliable source besides taking them off an existing valence.

          These are the only ones Chuck has left for sale on eBay:



          You might check with Levent to see if he still has any.

            I have a full set with the support bar and the the 2 outer middle ones for sale. 110 shipped for all, or take the airdam, valance and all of it for 150 plus shipping. Pictures of mounts in my ad. Search my created threads if interested.
            Looking for late model fogs, E39 Fog lights, cool cheap 17 5x120 wheels.

              I say lower your car so you don't have to mount it because you scrape every single thing that is over 3 inches tall without it.

                Did you ever end up making brackets?
                I'm looking for some measurements so I can make my own. Does anyone know what they are?

                My es valance is currently mounted directly to the bumper, but I'd like to mount it using the brackets.

                Thanks in advance.

                  Hi all,

                  For those who are still looking for the brackets, I sell them with a full set of hardware on my website. I have a bunch of other E30 products available too. Here’s the link!
