Nice look, but how could you get it to fit? The slant nose fenders are much wider than the ones on your SC and the valance flares out to blend in with those fenders. Seems like the valance would be too wide on your car.

They make that same unit for the narrowbody cars. I have one, and though I've yet to wear it, I think it loooks good.

Personally, I think the factory front valance with the rubber spoiler looks best. If you want a subtle change, that also ads performance, Georgek did a great job. See below. If you want to change looks I would go with a full bumper cap, such as RUF or C2. But that's just me.

Does any one know where i can find this type of valence, other than RUF? Like a fiberglass knock off? I kinda like the look.

I think the good Herr Doktor Timmins has just designed the new 3.2 owners WDP T-Shirt.

That rocks.

If you like the outside, check this out:



He just "slapped it in" last week, and then drove it work on Wednesday like there was nothing to it. Some guys have all the luck.

Kemo,

I believe that Better Bodies (www.betterbodiesmotorsport.com)sells a fiberglass Ruf-look front valance. Quality & price look real good.
