I'm actually very surprised after an installed pic was posted, that these are still here.

Carbon Fiber Rear Valance Install

Ok everyone. Here are some shots of the install. Went real smooth like I said. First one is of course with a naked rear end.
Thanks go out to Soundplus for the video on how to remove rear bumper cover.

Next is layed out on the floor upside down. If you look close you can see everything that needs to come off to get the valance off. A bunch of plastic.

This is part of the plastic reinforcement under the bumper removed. Very self explanatory to remove.

Next is the valance it self that is held on with these clips. You can just push them out with your fingers. Screw Driver is just a pointer in this shot.

They run all the way across like 6 on each side. Very easy to remove.

Once the valance is off this is what you have. Took me about 15 Minutes to get to this part.

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".

Just wanted to pop back in to let you know that I'm still very interested. It just comes down to when I can justify the expenditure.

Either way another bump for a beautiful item.
