Builders of the famous 935 Kremer bodywork. Some of the best in the world, and the Zimmerman brothers are aerodynamics experts. Might be too far fetched for 99% of people. I have Getty, they look good but not really good quality stuff , and pig heavy. Good value though, no doubt.

Whats so amazing about the DP valance I have is that it weighs about 3 pounds. It appears to have been made for a racing application. I did epoxy in a metal strip along the bottom to stiffen it up and to provide an attachment point for the body struts. DDD is right about the body curve blending perfectly with the curve of the front fenders. I almost left off the little vinyl welting that goes between the two but I didn't because it looked better with it.

It's too bad that Excellence and Panos still let them advertise with the bad rap they have. I guess that money talks and people get taken every day when they advertise in a better known magazine.

That is certainly the case here in UK!

I just looked at the DP web site and they still sell the valance that I have on my car. However, they say "Just screw to front bumper". NOT! If you do, you will have absolutely no lower support for that occasional scrape on evil driveways and I would imagine that at high speeds you could experience some deforming from wind and vibration. Brackets are easy to make and I attached mine to the two front bolts on the "A" arm front supports. I also added one in the center where the old valance had some sort of support. If you don't add some sort of reinforcement to the inside bottom edge, there is not much to bolt to.
