umm thanks, but let's not get too carried away. to be fair, some parts of my front valance look pretty good — but the overall shape (like the profile from up/down/up is a bit weird). with the stock 968 front end being so flat, it's a very complicated fix — if there's even a solution at all. and if there is, i surely haven't found it.... also, i have the edges of the center duct flush with the uprights. i might try softening that edge a bit before the new, Monterrey Blue Lambo paint eventually goes on late next year.

well Arash, it was the issue of breaking the batwing that brought this to a head. the 997 valance was considerably cheaper..

thanks.. i believe you we're the first to post (several years ago?) about fixing the lower valence... this isn't a perfect fix but from some angles it looks good. from others it's sort of weird..
