just got my new valance back from maaco. they did a superb job of matching the paint from the paint code. here are some pics of the install. i was unable to get the valance to snap to the bumper at the two outboard locations under the headlights on either side. anyone know of a special tool or technique for these buggers? otherwise it went very smoothly. i heated the backside of the hood and was able to get most of the goo to stay on the trim with only minor paint scratches. i will fix them after i get a new head for my buffer. i would also note be very careful pulling the headlight washers out. i was showing someone else how to do it and he broke one pulling too hard, they are fragile.
