    Looking for a better looking late model valence

    Hi ive been looking around for a quality late model valence because i crashed my e30 and the valence is bent up pretty bad. All ive been able to find is fiberglass or plastic covers for the original valence. Are there any standalone valences other than the stock for late model? If so could you guys give me some company names or places to find them? Thanks in advance

    There are a few, but without the rest of the kit in most cases (i.e. side skirts and rear valance) they look out of place. I am not sure of any standalone front valances. Most, if not all, came with a whole kit.

    IMHO the stock valance, in good condition, looks fantastic. Especially when it has clean fog lights (or blanks) and an iS lip.

      i don't know if you have provided enough information to go on. eurostop makes tons of fiberglass knock off models but they are pretty much total shit.

      why don't you search the for sale section for "valance". thats probably where i would have started before posting here.

      there were lots of cool ones made over the years like bbs, hartge, alpina......the list goes on. you probably won't find them new unless you get lucky enough to get a new old stock one. i don't know how much money you have, but these types of valances can get pretty pricey.

        I definitely already did that. I looked through the shallows of the interwebs but was not happy. I have about $600 to spend on it. I already have an is lip maybe ill just go back with stock?

          Most aftermarket valances mount over the stock metal one. I don't think I've seen any that completely replace it.

            ..and yes, he does accept Paypal, and ships to the US (I have order just passing customs as I type this..)

            There was not a specific Alpina body package to match this, it was used with anything the buyer wanted, or all alone.
