      Good luck!
      Is there an aftermarket rear valance? because i heard the original ones are hard to find.

            Yes, there is. You can get an M-Tech II Kopi rear valance from AbrahamsMotorsport. There's also many other options. I prefer the late rear valance (that must be cut/welded to your car) just because it's so much more visually pleasing (imo) on an early car (not to say that the others don't look good-- because they do!)

                      Is there a reason that the left side of the bumper hangs more then the other?

                            but my e30 isnt really perfect, it needs some work, hopefully i'll get it to where i want it by summer.

                            by the way your red e30 looks super clean! what rims are those?

                              That sounds like an E30 to me. They will always be works in progress. Those are E38 Style 5's (95-01 740 wheels.)

                                Sell the bumpers/valance and dish out the extra $ for eurobumpers. You won't regret it.
                                I say you could get $400-$500, and then dish out another $300ish for the euros.
