Euro Chromes with Late Model Valences?

[Mr. Wolfe]

Is this a possible combination? TIA!

Mr. Wolfe

[MR 325]

It's been done but it doesn't look right, at all. The Euro bumpers aren't tall enough to fill the opening.

[Mr. Wolfe]

Thank you very much for the quick reply.

Mr. Wolfe

[Mr. Wolfe]

What about stock tucked DB's with late model valence? Same thing?

Mr. Wolfe

DB's with a late valance works.
You need some sort of drilling though on top of the bumper so the shroud sticks to the DB like an '88.

[Mr. Wolfe]

Thanks. I am trying to decide the direction I want to take the car. I don't like the 87 325is front valence and the DB's. I am thinking about tucking and using a different valence or going totally late model on the front. I would like to keep a small strip of chrome on the front though as it will go with my new paint color.

DB with late front valance and volvo lip. Best combo you can get from DBs. I guess it's kirieiw's car.

pic to show how the late model valnces look funny with euros.
what mr.325 is 100% true, it just doesn't line up, theres about 2-3 inches of CLEARLY visible gap.

[Mr. Wolfe]

Okay, so what is the answer then?

Mr. Wolfe

[aegul44]

^^^ answer ? What else do you need ?

DBs with late model valance = WIN (as I posted above)
euro chromes with LMV = good amount of gap ( as J.Rizo posted above)

If you like gap in front end then go with euros, but if looking for clean fitment stay with dbs. Tuck them and add on LMV. If you hate chromes paint dbs in black.

Here's the late valance with an iS lip, with the chrome euro bumper. The valance has been cut down so the gap isn't there anymore.



As for the rear on a late model with euro bumper. I don't recall seeing a picture of one.

[Mr. Wolfe]

Thanks for the help.

There is no gap with Euro chromes and MTech 1, correct?

Mr. Wolfe

[JasonC]

No gap, the M tech attachs to the bumper and the trim covers it where it mounts.

Thanks!

[Mr. Wolfe]

Anyone have pictures of MTech 1 front and rear valence without sideskirts?
