Color matching rear valance
Has anyone done this except for STILLEN? What I mean is has anyone painted the plastic part on the lower section of the bumper the same color as the car? I have seen STILLEN's car with this done and it looked great. I'm scheduled to have the rear valance and my mirrors as well as a few other things done to my car at the body shop this Wednesday.

Sory to say but that is actually our rear valance. That is NOT the painted stock piece. We tried it both ways and decided that just color matching wasn't the way to go. We could sell you our lower rear valance though!

Do you have a side by side comparison of the two pieces?

Eric, i have yet to see the lower valance on your car from directly behind. It's really hard to tell what it looks like on the whole with that side shot. Do you have a full on rear shot of the car you can share? Whats the price on the valence as well?

I've benn told that you have to smooth out the factory one to paint it cause it looks horrible if you try to paint it while rough. I don't know how it looks cause I haven't seen it done personally.
I am interested in doing the same thing but am turned off by the aftermarket ones cause I don't want a whole body kit and I think just the rear piece will hang down to far and not look right.

Is this the same rear valance being sold by Street Scene?

Yes, the Street Scene valance is our rear bumper. This design was a co-op between our two companies and has had a great response so far. That image is a perfect shot from the rear so that should help a lot for those who need a different angle. The pricing is spot on as well, expect that buying direct this month we have a domestic performance sale for 2010 Mustang and 2010 Camaro on our urethane body parts. $225 with FREE shipping!
