    question about rear valance.

    rear valance for late model e30, Anyone know where i can get one locally? i know they need to be cut out, mine is dent to shit, or is it more worth it to just buy an aftermarket rear valance to cover it? Thanks

    Depends on your skill level. They usually go for $50-$100 and you have to weld it in. Kopi valance is like $300 or so, IIRC.

      post a picture of your banged to hell rear valance, so we can better offer you suggestions.


      If its metal i say fix it, but buying a valance to cover it up makes no sense

          Hmmm, worse then i thought. See what a body shop would charge to fix, if its astronomical, buy a valance to cover lol

          or find a person parting a late model, and cut it out

                    Clean zinno coupe. However, that damage does look pretty bad. Also, notice the angle of the passenger taillight? I'd look under the plate filler and see if there's any other damage. May want to have the rear end checked out.

                      previous owner was rear ended. tail light is crooked because its only holding in by 1 bolt... haha i need a new one.. and everything else is okay and straight. just the bottom valance. clean title stil.

                        I would inspect for other damage or paint work. That whole panel on the passenger side doesn't look right to me. Almost looks like some rust on the bottom of the plate filler as well.

                        If it all checks out, by all means, spend a day putting a new valance on.
