This is great. Really like the look of the OEM panel over any after market valence. Welding doesnt scare me at all and my E30 is the 88 Vert with the factory facelift. So between Janderson's 44 page build (which I have read all of) and td325ic I think this should be a pretty straight forward upgrade. That is once I source a valence!

And I'm glad you dug the thread, that's why I do such in-depth project threads. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Actually not to dig up an old thread any further but has anyone ever done a late model real valance with euro bumpers?
Kind of like having the mtech 1 valance but it being the metal from the factory...I too have a vert and I'm looking at choices to ditch the DBs and go with a cleaner look so that may be possible because I have seen some in junkyards I could harvest >_<

I did the late rear valance swap onto my car. It's really not that hard, especially since nearly all of your work is going to be covered by the bumper. TONS of pics and info, check it out here:
