    Freakin awsome. I will do this to my old valance if I need to. Thanks for the idea.

    Nice mod on the valance ... I look forward to seeing it on the car.

    I have been thinking of adding the early Mav under bumper lights somehow to fill that space, but may lean toward this instead ... that area does need something.

    I really like it but I'll have to wait to see what it looks like mounted on the car before I go hacking

    Another nice mod to add to the never ending LONGGGGG list of things to do - thanks Dennis :banghead:----------------:D

    If I spent as much time building my car as reading all of these great ideas, it would have been done a long time ago :yup:

    After drooling over Glenn's build, aka Car-nut, his idea with the valance lights was just too cool. This is a combination of Mark Gustavson idea of the smaller opening and Glenn's idea with the valance lights. Wish i had a car to mount it on so I could get the full effect.

    You'll just have to finish the GT so you can try it on! ;)

    Yes, that looks pretty sharp.
