      Not yet. I should be getting her painted soon.
      Don't worry, I haven't forgot about the thread.

      I will say that the mounting is pretty obvious, though.

                I don't think it would be possible at all to fit it with diving boards. Unless of course you cut off the actual mounting points and make some kind of bracket (i.e. it would be a ton of work). Keep in mind this valance mounts between the rubber strip and the actual bumper all the way around. Sounds like a real PITA to mod it where it would look right.

                Just bought an OEM M-tech 1 spoiler and a Hartge front valance from a couple of the fine r3v members, today. That makes the body work complete when tied into the paint.

                After all this money, I'm not going to want to drive this car now... shit.

                    Very soon :)
                    The car should be done in about a week and a half. I'm going to help him mount the rear valance so that I can take some pictures for you guys.

                    It has been cheap without a car. Gas doesn't bother you when you walk everywhere..

                      Curious why you didn't go with a matching front valance?

                        I bought the Hartge front valance from a fellow member a few weeks ago. Its a very nice valance and will fit well with the rest of the mtech 1 I think..

                        It will be the non-arch mtech 1 sides, replica rear valance, mtech 1 trunk spoiler, and hartge front valance. All with a new Delphin repaint.

                        I didn't get the matching front because I was somewhat hesitant about putting fiberglass on the front and couldn't find an original one in the time frame I wanted.

                              I'll give some kind of update. Not the update you guys are looking for, but the update that excites me!

                              I promise, pictures will come very soon. It is getting painted tonight and I plan on going to help him mount up the rear valance sometime next week (this is a bad week with the EIT test and the such). I'll get pictures soon.
