Default Pics of Painted Rear Valances

Does anyone know what venders offer color matching rear valances and how hard are they to change? If you have pictures of completed ones could you please post them?

Just had mine painted body color, did it while I was doing the rear wide-body. Not too hard, and looks much better. Should have come from the factory that way, in my opinion. There are also aftermarket pieces, CDC makes one, I just think its a little too much, but you may like it. painting your own is the cheapest route, and not terribly difficult, but you may have to remove at least part of the inner wheel wells. I had mine off anyways, so not sure if you will absolutely need to to just remove the valance.

CDC, Classic Design Concepts, aftermarket manufacturer, they make parts like spoilers (I love their rear, spoiler, I have one) front chins, etc.

I think RPI sells their rear valance already painted in all body colors, check them out, if you like the style giddyup!

I would suggest having a body shop in your area paint the rear valance. Also, I believe Josh at RPI paints them.

I think Josh and Tony both use the CDC valance. I would actually rather find one that was OEM style only painted.

Had mine painted at my body shop. Valance was removed and it's a perfect match.

Here's a picture of the CDC rear valance in Victory Red, but you'll get the idea of the look -
