It showed up today. Won't have a chance to get to it (it is where I work on the car) for a week and a half. I'll get some pictures up and do a quick test fit when I get it. It will be fully mounted when I get the car painted in a few weeks.

I'm just about ready to place an order let us know how it fits.Comment

It looks to be exactly OEM fitment. Now this does not mean it will go right on without work.
I did hold it up to the car and it appears that it will fit perfectly. Remember the valance is unfinished and will require minimal sanding to get it perfect.
Will surely do business with these guys again.

Stop! If I understand you correctly you are going to mount it wrong. The valance goes between the bumper and the molding on the bumper. There should be no reason to trim. Looks exactly like the real deal. I will see if I have any pics from Nina and will post up.sigpic

whew you had me confused/worried for second when you said cutting the bumper.
but the bumper looks good. Does it look like you need anything else to install it? ie making/buying brackets or anything?-Frank

Well, as far as I can tell it mounts directly to the bumper and nothing else. I'll put a sheet-metal screw in the quarter-panel as well.
Looking at the diagram, there is a synthetic strip (#4), "foil" (#5), and bracket (#7) that I don't know about. Hopefully one of you guys that have been here before can say something about these.
Beyond the possibilities of these, I'll need to get the m-technic end pieces and also the bolts and nuts for the m-technic (for bolting the rubber strip to the bumper -- currently it uses clips).

Oh one last thing, if your tow hook is roughed up sand, prime and paint it real quick. You dont want a scratched up tow hook sticking out a fine ass.sigpic

I'm planning on getting the car painted within a month, so I'm going to let him paint it and mount it up at that time. It looks like it will fit up perfectly though. I'll be sure to update when I get the car painted.
Thanks for the offer on the sticker, you've got a PM.Comment
