Just to add a bit more on the valances... the fiberglass was hand laid with epoxy resin, which is less prone to cracking and much more durable than the polyester resin that most companies shoot through a chopper gun. To give you an idea, epoxy resin is used in the aerospace industry and also Formula One Racing for their durable carbon fiber parts, so this valance is pretty sturdy and yet flexible enough to work with. As I have stated before, the valance mounts from the rear through the existing mounting holes so no fasteners will be seen from the outside. I closed off the center opening in case you want to go for a more flush look or cut it open. The brake duct/fog light openings will also be closed off at the back. If you choose to close off either the center opening or brake duct/fog light openings all you have to do is cut out close out panel, move it forward so its flush to the outside surface and fill the edges. The lower splitter/lip is height adjustable with a sliding channel located on the back side of the lip which is attached to the valance with bolts. All instructions and fasteners will be provided with the kit just in case you're lost. But in all, its very easy to install and there are many different options that you can go with. Let me know what ya think!

#3- Top view, cant really see much because of the white on the valance but the grille sets back a half inch from the outer edge of the valance. The grille has more of a flat arc from top view and the valance follows the contour of the hood.

Good work! The Huffaker flares look good too. I think they would look better if the rear arch was round on top instead of flattened,more like the front. Just like the tooth in the front should be removed in the valence. Just my opinion.

Blake- are the turn signals on the wrong way?

Jim- Thanks! Yeah, I agree on the flares. I'm going to be doing a more rounded look on the back. The flat ones look a bit off for some reason. Or maybe I'll play around with a half flat/half round? As far as the "tooth" on the valance, that can be easily removed if you were to purchase one. That was my little add to the design just to break up the shape of the opening. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...

I'm sure this has been answered already, but I couldn't find it. What fog lights fit the opens? Do they come with the valence (I assume not)?

Tony, Another idea on the flares. How about a little more flare on the bottom rear like the 289 cobra.The Cobra is aluminum but, you can see where it is wide in rear.

Hey Andrew, the fog light openings are 4 1/2" so in order to fit in the hole, I would go with a 4" light. There are tons of 4" fog lights out there for sale.

Hey Jim, I like the Cobra flares alot. Once I start building it in clay I can decide on what it needs to look like and play around with the design a bit. Of course your input will be greatly appreciated.

Tony, will the wheel flares work with your current design or will you be designing another valence panel to work with them?

Thanks Randy

Hey Randy, the current valance will work with fender flares. The front side of the wheel arch on the new fender flare will meet the valance similar to Jim's picture of the Cobra posted above. The bottom front corner of the flare will have a return flange and attach to the valance. Hope that makes sense. I'll draw you up something and post it later so you know what I'm talking about.

Are you only making a few of these, or will you continue to make them for a while? I'm interested in one, but don't have the funds at the moment.

Tony, Here is a good picture of back of Cobra flare. Would look good on front and back. If you have 6" wide wheels you could make a spacer out of 2x4's(1 1/2" wide) to know how wide for coverage. Most guys with flares have 7-8" wide rims. My guess 3-4" wide.

Hey Andrew, no worries I'll probably be making a bunch of them over the next year. So far I've sold 5 of the valances with the splitter. They are made to order, so as soon as I get payment from people, it only takes a few days to pump out a part. Just let me know when you're able to order and I'll make one for ya.
