Joe,
Where did you get these "tow seam strips" ?? I'm assuming that they
cover the spot welded seam between the lower valence & fender? Is that
correct? I've been trying to figure out how I was going to make some...
Jeff,
Replacing the lower valence isn't all that hard, especially if you
proceed carfeully - just remember the old axiom "measure twice, cut
once." I also found it was easier to cut a little less off than I
thought, and then carefully fit the panel with a touch of edge grinding
here and there. BTW, the panel comes with no holes in it. Therefore,
you need to drill/cut those yourself. I would suggestlooking into some
fiberglass repair from the inside if the area isn't too big...
good luck,
