I don't have pics yet but I will this weekend. The guy who does all my performance work lowered the rear 1.5 inches. When he lowered the rear, the front end as expected, went up so he simply lowered the front enough to level it out. Before he started he measured everything and the front scraper was exactly 4 inches off the ground. When he got through, the front scraper was still 4 inches off the ground. I had the wheel alignment done today and now everything is as it should be. It truly looks awesome!

The passenger side has a nut/bolt connecting the two pieces, but not the driver’s side.
1) Different dealers charge different prices for the same part, and one side cost more than the other. Prices ranged from $12.70 for one side at one dealer up to $21 for the same part at another dealer. A third dealer wanted $16+.
2) The screws were still there- the head wasn't much larger than the hole in the piece it was supposed to hold on. I put on washers that give about an additional 1/16th inch all the way around the screw head.
3) It is not a screw and bolt that holds the side pieces to the center piece. It is a fastener that looks kind of like a screw with a big head, but is is ribbed (plastic) and pushes in from the front of the center valance through the end hole of the corner valance. It is NOT shown in the parts sheet. They had to go in back and match it up, and the part they found is about 1/2" longer than the part I had removed. The part number on my receipt is 010121502 and was 36 cents.
I hope this helps.
