Looks great Ron :thumbsup:

I'm past the mock-up stage and the front valance is now in line at the paint shop. :willy:

I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but I fabbed a small bracket that allows me to connect the new valance to the hood support just like the factory set-up. Not sure if it is/will be necessary, but I figured that a little extra bracing in this area would help eliminate any possibility of sag issues down the road.

Brian i talked to Judas yesterday and they are suppose to provide a template for the cut out to use your existing bumper brackets. He made have already told you that.

looks like you are clicking along pretty good..

Thanks! That's a great idea for a little extra support in the middle, I will probably do the same-

Thanks for the follow-up Mike. Serpa69 and I were pm'ing back and forth and I think that I'll mount the front bumper like he did on his car**. He just used the outside mounting points rather than cutting a new hole in the valance. I mocked mine up this way and it seems to be plenty sturdy.

**thanks for the tip on this Chris :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing these tips in this forum-

Just remember to pull out the rubber isolators out of the mounts. This does two things it gets rid of the bounce and it pulls the bumper up to the body. But it is plenty strong. I have modifyed my existing bumper mounts to go on but I am not going to install them because I do not want to cut more holes in the valence. Also, its not like it is protecting the front end these were not five mile an hour bumpers

Its been awhile since I've checked this thread.
I've tried to contact Chris but we've played phone tag.
Sorry Serpa for using the wrong terminology on the front valance lights or whatever they are-mine are both park and driving lights.
I'm glad that EVERYONE else has one that fits, mine is far from fitting.
It won't go. I'll try again today to contact Chris.

Chris has the phone strapped to his ass all day long not a very good game of tag it sound like to me.
