Fitting, I Would Say!

I've never had a vanity plate (have owned a car since 1982 or so), but was too entertained by the thought of this to pass it up - ha! I'm sure that anyone who has ever owned one of these cars will get a laugh out of it!

ronnie,
how did you fit the valance? Is it a fiberglass one? Do you have some pictures of the install? do you have the factory heat shield?

I'm installing a zork pipe in the center. Looks to be the same height as yours.

Concerned about the fiberglass valance bending in with the large black rubber bumper pads pushing against it.

Thanks, shannon

BTW: I get about 12 mpg average

That plate is great.

Shannon, that is one of RarlyL8/Brian's fiberglass valences that I bought years ago. I removed the factory heat shield, and instead, lined the inside of the valence with aluminum tape and glued some aluminum covered, fabric heat shielding on the inside of the bumper and such. I haven't had any problems with heat damaging the paint on the valence or the bumper since doing this.

The bumper tits don't cause the valence to bend in as they really are just barely touching it.

No, I don't have any pics of the install, sorry.

One thing worth mentioning, is the factory rubber trim piece that goes between the valence and the bumper is not long enough since the new valence is longer (no behind the wheel cutout for a muffler tip), so I ordered a new piece, used it, and cut about a six inch piece off of the old rubber strip and used it as well. You can't tell they are spliced together when mounted on the car, unless you are on your hands and knees looking for it. I glued the small section to the larger one with superglue.

Oh, and no need to lie about your fuel mileage!

Thanks for the comments on the plates. Yep, they're very funny in a "non-green" sort of way.
