ok im in ireland right now and im sort of bored, i havent been on here in about 3 weeks but i go home on tuesday so that will be nice....its about 1:00 in the morning....and i cant stop thinking about my car so i decided i would look for the front valance i want to get for it before i think of getting it painted when i get back..... ( graduation money, :-D )

its the one thats on the tokyo drift mustang fastback......yeah...i know......but i think it looks cool.

does anyone know where to find one? i found some fiberglass racing apron thing that looks similar but its like $260 bucks and dosent seem worth it when a regular front valance is like $35 bucks or somthing.......i dono. so any help would be greatttttt.

 

i would check out the r model valance or the valances at mustangdepot.com. they have some really nice ones, but some of them are also over kill.

 

Make it

do you want to have the front chrome bumper??

 

haha, i wish....i dont have the specialtools (cutting, welding, etc) or probably the know-how/skills to do it....did u just cut the stock front valance????



the tokyo drift mustang has the bumper,i think it looks nice...i dont really know what one looks like without one.......

my car is a 1968 coupe incase that matters.....



and if i get one of those fiberglass aprons, is it going to fit like crap since its fiberglass? i got the GT rear valance and the fit isnt too perfect and thats made of metal....im nervous about fiberglass......

 

the good thing about fiberglass is that you can sand it down and shave it to fit better than your rear valance. if you go to an adequate body shop they will know how to put it on and make it fit very well. Im putting a fiberglass front on mine and ive seen the work my body shop has done so im not worried

 

do what TRANS AM racers did in the 60's....CUT A STOCK ONE! Just cut out the flat section where the plate lines up, and you even have a body line to cut on. If you are afraid to cut there, have a body shop cut it!

 

yeah, the down fall with fiberglass is then do have to be finished when you get them, you just kinda gotta sand away a bit to get things lined up and worst case, have to cut small pieces.

 

I built a replica car several years ago, and all of the body parts were fiberglass. Trust me, it is much easier to "Make" the fiberglass parts fit than it is the steel parts. Are you wanting to do this for looks, or to get more air in your engine bay for performance reasons?

 

the looks/performance ratio is probably about 70/30.....im not going to be like hardcore racing or anything so i probably dont even need the extra flow of air, i just love the look.
