GT3Tek RF front valence

Does anyone have any experience with this front valence? I like the flexibility aspect, and can see where my '84 Carrera could use some additional cooling capacity on the hot summer days when the AC is also on. A nice oil cooler up front should certainly help.

It mimics the look of the RUf Yellowbird front spoiler, but utilizes the stock front bumper to retain that protection for day to day driving. I'd also be tempted to remove the worthless front fog lights and keep those spots open to provide additional airflow to the front oil cooler and AC condenser.

I used to have it. It sits lower than the stock valance so it scrapes more on the driveway. Compared to FG this is more flexible. You will have to make brackets on the fronts or zip tie it as it has mounting only on the side fenders. Also, I diy'd my front plate brackets.

I really liked it but when I decided to replace the stratton duck with a weissach tail, I put back the stock valance. If ever, I will put an aftermarket valance, I will do this again.





Here is the backside

Thanks for the photos and info. I do see where there is a small lip on the bottom that could scrape on steep driveways, but it does have a nice feature of being somewhat flexible.
