Default Which Valence

Does anyone have good experience with the valence from automotion? It's $399. I'm trying to decide between buying this supposedly superior new valence for $$$ or try to source a used one.

your link didnt work for me.

for that much I'd look at an AIR carrera gts replica valence for a little bit more money, or a good 2nd hand one for less. You could also look for a 2nd-hand stock 944 valence with the foglight delete if you are that way inclined.

I called Porsche, it's $1641 & some change. I'm poking around for something to replace mine, though I still have the foglights in working order.

I have cool clear fog lights and new bulbs and do not want them deleted and do not want a 924 GTS front end. I want to get it replaced within two weeks and not liking what I'm finding... this car is in it for the long run so I think getting a new/improved valence might be worth it...

Just get a good used one as you have to prime and paint it anyway. $400.00 plus shipping will it around $450.00 if not a little more. Start calling some of the junk yards around your area. You may have to pull it yourself but not all that hard to do.

Cheers,
Larry

Ow... buy once cry once. Bought the reinforced new one. I see some local junkyard ones now... but all the valences are trash. I'll get the couple other things I need though.. namely: Fender, fender liner, side marker, and that metal piece that joins fender to valence. Lol POPS.... I had a booboo
