    In all seriousness would a spoiler that is molded in the valance be out of the question. I understand not everyone would want one, and the valance alone would sell better..... but an option?! Maybe?!!!

    I have been thinking about a front spoiler.

    Even as a seperate piece, one that bounces back would be ideal. The last front spoiler that I had was repaired several times from contact with speedbumps, curbs, road kill ... :rolleyes:

    since i swapped to small bumpers ive been really paranoid when pulling into parking spots. i always think im going to run my valence into the curb thing. i never really thought about it with the big bumper.

    but then when you look at how much clearence there is i feel a little dumb ;)


    i really wouldnt mind that chin spoiler tho! :)

    I have noticed that it doesnt take much to damage a vallence,,,, So my plan is to use the Composit vallences on my cars till I want to have them judged in a show,, then I can go with the factory ones,, but my drivers are going to keep the composits,,,,
    Even thow we are going to make metal vallences as well,,, Its alot less worry to run the composits,, If some road trash hits it while on a trip,,, No dents no dings is all the better,,,Lol

    If the valance looks and fits as good as the factory one, there will be no need in changing it out for shows. There are no car shows with judging that will be checking to see what our valance is made out of. Even in the Mustang shows where they have concours judging, if they had a composite valance and it looked factory, they are not going to be sticking a magnet to those cars to find out otherwise. And I think I can safely tell you that there will never be any concours judging going on for our Mavericks...at least not in the next few years. So, if it looks factory...great. Put it on and leave it on! :)

    Too bad most of us won't be able to afford to just buy all of them at once! :( All these things will be stocked at RPS so we can order them as we can afford, right?

    Dont worry about a thing,,, we will have the parts in numbers in stock,, any place east of Mississippi will be shipped from here,,, any place west will come from RPS. Only some parts will be made in limited numbers,,, But I think we will be able to help every one with the parts they need,,,:thumbs2:
    and at a very good price at that,,
