Default Stock valance pic....

I need a shot of the stock middle /valance airdam ON the car.

I'm seeing pics of the front end on others and you can clearly see the valance and it looks as if my middle valance is on backwards.Mine flips/pushes up towards the rear of the car.

If yours pushes to the rear of the car that is correct, It is made to spiring back for speed bumps and such.

Mine does puch backwards but it does NOT look like that pic...It looks to push the air donw away from the radiator.That is why i have had soo many questions.It just didn't seem right.

It is "spring" mounted but curves going under the car.I'll get a pic..red overspray and all.

I think you are right...the curve/bend of the bracket for the spoiler goes up into the car on the other guys pic.

I'll go flip it around.Easy enough I guess.

All correct, it was upside down and went back on right like it should.

Funny, the car did not run hot at all even down here.My side valances will be here next week so I'll clean up the bottom at the same time.


I can't believe someone would paint something like that on the car without at least taping it good.The paint line on the bottom of the bumper cover is thick.
