    Looks and sounds great! I'm thinking about using the 3M panel bond stuff to mount my valence. It may be a little easier to remove if it ever gets damaged. How did you bond the spoiler and corners to the body?

    Did you fiber glass the valance to the body? If so arent you afraid if cracking or shrinkage with fiber
    glass?
