Default It arrived

My R-Model front valance has finally arrived from Virginia Mustang. Ordered it 12/28/07 recieved it 1/03/08. Not back except UPS didnt knock or ring the doorbell. Also they never updated the tracking telling me that it left Georgia and was in Huntsville. It is getting put on tomorrow. Also i am ordering my front spoiler too.

Looks good. I would like to know how it fits. It is metal isn't. I bought a fiberglass one from Stanga-holics, but didn't know you could get it in metal. The fiberglass spoiler I have doesn't fit at all. I didn't get it from them though! I would like to know how the spoiler fits the valance.
Thanks

Fitage so far just plain sucks. I got the original valance off and started to put the new 1 on. Found out there is piece that hooks up to the hood latch or something that is keeping the valance from being in the right spot. So now i am having to wait and get my dad to look at it and cut the valance to make it fit. This sucks already taken my over an hour to do this.[:@]So it will be another 5 hours at least until it gets put on.

BA,
you got a clean car and with that its gonna look even better! Nothing will ever be easy with these cars though. it all take a lot of time. just think about it like this "i have a classic, its like your GF/WIFE(i know your not married) she requires time and attention, and once a month she gonna be a flat out bitch, but keep giving her flowers and you are sweet and it pays off in the end"
