Re: putting turbo/S2 valence rear valence on NA

Since your car is an 83, there are no mount holes pre-existing for it to mount to. The 85.5 and later cars have the 5 holes pre-existing under the car (because it is the same chassis as the turbos). However, even on those cars you need to drill the 2 holes on each quarter panel just at the line for the stone-guard material.

It will help you if you use a floor jack to hold the large piece up to psuedo-mount it, and mark the holes you need to make. The smaller piece on the drivers side can be held by hand and the holes marked.

Good luck!
