Experience with "Pre-Fit" valance?

[brandondan1]

Hey guys,

I came across these cheap, "Pre-Fit," late model valances on ebay that are brand new and "meet or exceed OEM specs." Bavarian auto recyclers is the seller, so I think it should be good quality...Was wondering if anyone has bought one, and if they do indeed fit like an OEM piece.

Thanks

joke right?

No, what's funny about it? 98$ vs. 240$, I know, but that doesn't mean it can't be a good product. There are other replicas out there that are just fine.

Says laser cut, 6mo warranty, lifetime rust protection, meets or exceeds OEM specs... Just wondering if anyone has purchased one and can verify the quality.

I don't trust it. All I am going to say.

Seems like a good deal if the quality is ok. Buy it and let us know how the fitment is.

I have one, not totally sure on fitment yet though, but it seems to be ok, atleast workable.

They sorta hosed me on a used valence. There was nothing wrong with it and it made a huge improvement on my car but at the same time I'm sure I could have found one locally for MUCH less. My outlook, based on my experience and recounts of others I've heard is that I'd only buy from them if my insurance company was picking up the tab, which they did for my valence thank goodness.

that's a real good price and as far as fitment goes, you have to understand that Pre-Fit did try to make it as precise as they could. i doubt it won't fit right. i've bought from bav recycling them before and had a good experience

me. my valence is all messed up, but i would like something with the lip already on it d: and that means aftermarket bumper alltogether.
