                  Maybe its just be but the front valence still looks a little off, I would suggest a new on there, but the car has come a ways since you bought it...

                    I agree, the car looks great, but you should replace that valance.

                        well of course. i will lower the car before i put the wheels on. it looks rediculous. Well i wanted to replace that valence. But new they are $369 and i could not find a decent one at the junk yards. so if anyone has one for cheap lmmk please! i would like to get one.

                        anyways thanks guys for all the comments. like i said i tried my best with the stuff i had. the valence was a pain to get it this straight. but its alot better than before.
                        And today i changed the oil, passed deq got it registered and got two new front signal lenses from the dealer.

                          I am suprised you were able to get the rear valence as straight as it is, but I knew it would never line up correctly after that repair. Still, great effort on getting it that close.

                          I also see that the color match on the silver is not that close, but metallic silver can be one of the toughest colors to match. But good job overall on 'saving' that car!
