Now I know this will not be to everyones taste, but im after a few opinions.
I brought this rear valance cheap second hand to cover an annoying dent on the metal valance.

Options are

1.Coulor code it silver
2.matt/satin black
3.textured black(similar to the black underseal)

its probably going to go textured but I am struggling to find other examples.

The sides will fit flush it just looks extra shite as its just resting in place in the pic.

Does look pretty decent/OEM in the picture, but probably need to see it from more angles to get a better idea...

I think black would stand out too much with the rest of the body, so silver might be the way to go.

The only thing with running black round the bottom it's it's got a silver mtech2 front valance.
So not sure how it will suit it. Going to fit it properly in black, than make a half arsed attempt at spraying silver and see what I prefer.

Also now realised its modelled for a preface lift so the tailpipes will have to we rewelded on a slant. :cry:
