Carbon Fiber Rear Valance Install II

Next was to get the new valance lined up for the mounting and drilling of holes. Hardest part right here.

Here are the mounting studs in the valance. Copper looking all thread.

All I did was lay it on top and mark the studs where they rested on the bumper cover. Here are some holes and marks in sharpie.

Screw holes at end of valance line up with mounting clips on bumper cover so no drilling there.
One thing I did do was elongate my mounting holes though. This allowed me to make minor adjustments to get it perfectlly centered once it was on. Then I tightened it down with provided hardware.

Then just put everything back together and cover your rear. Very easy to do.

Thanks Forcefed for this one off. For anyone getting one of the other two colors just PM me if you need help. I can talk you through it easily.

By the way went to Supercar Sunday last week and it got lots of looks and questions. Then when I told them it was a one off the answer was always "what a shame".
