So I finally got around to attempting to fit a Gen 1 LSE rear valance to a Gen 2 Bumper. I planned on cutting the LSE valance to the same shape as the gen 2 valance side sections. As you can see in the pics, the bumpers are shaped differently. The Gen 1 bumper flares out at the bottom but the gen 2 tapers inward. The bottom picture is of a gen 2 LSE valance side section compared to the gen 1 LSE. The gen 1 side part would stick out about an inch or so near the exhaust port. I am just going to put the Gen 1 side skirts on and go with that. Looking at Mlara's car, they flow with the body lines very well even without the rear valance. I will be selling the Gen 1 valance very soon.

These rear valances are as rare as electrician perspiration

Here are a couple pics of the valance. It has no cracks or gouges in it at all. I had to turn on the flash on my phone in order to make the scratches more visible (the lighting in my apartment sucks). The valance could easily be installed on a black LS without repainting it. It was very well taken care of by the previous owner(66coupe). Feel free to make some offers.

66coupe...eh That dude can go get...nevermind. If you are interested in selling it at a decent price I would like to buy it. I could have bought the whole rear bumper and valance from him for $175 + shipping until he tried to get me and GRELL (who I am good real-life friends with) into a bidding war. After that, I told him go you know where. He tried to make this forum into LVCbay.

We may have something worked out.
And about that aluminum degas bottle...if I could make them affordable I would sell them. But with 10+ hours of fabrication I couldnt sell them for less than $300-400

I know i'm really late to this lol, but what about cutting up that gen I rear valance and molding the pieces onto the gen II one? Might make more sense to use a crappy stock one tho instead of that nice 06/LSE valence.
get me? lol
get me? lol
It would probably be possible to do this but I don't have the skills to do this or the money to pay someone who does. I am just going to stick with the 06 valance and put on the 02 side skirts I got from you. I think I am going to have them painted first though. Top priority now is getting the rear bumper replaced.
