Need a stock front valance

[Mike]

Hi guys,

I'm strongly considering going to a stock front valance.  My car currently has an airdam installed.  I like it but eventually this car will need to go back to its former glory.  I may consider one of the BRE short airdams in the center though.  Anyway, do you have any ideas where I can find a set in good condition?  I've been away from the real world for awhile.

I have a brand new after market set. I can dig them out for you.

No idea what manufacturer they came from.

Thanks @zKars, do you have all three pieces?

[zKars]

Sure do. Let me find them and post a picture

I'm pretty sure I have a OE 3-piece set in the attic stash. I'll check and send pics if so.

After Mike has his sourced, I'd be interested in the same for a Z I have that which was in a front end collision.

Here are my pictures. 

There are some welding repairs on the two outer “wings” to account for poor factory assembly. These are raw and only primered, some body work is expected.

Resurrected Classics has the new 3 piece set listed for $350.00. They guarantee their products. I’ve bought 3 sets of hub caps from them and they are “perfect”.

@zKars thanks for digging those out and taking photos, I really appreciate it.   I've currently got three options:

1. Old set from jfa - $ - Likely a lot of repair/fitting work required
2. New/old set from zKars - $$ - Some repair/fitting work required
3. New set from resurrectedclassics - $$$ - Least repairs but likely fitting required

BRE spoilers if you want to maintain stock valance.

Yeah, I like the look of the BRE spoiler.  I'll pick up the front valance and get the headlight buckets repainted too.  Right now that whole set is a bit off color from the rest of the car...  not really noticeable to most but it really bugs me.. ha!  Luckily I found the paint codes in my files from the original work.  I didn't have that when the airdam and buckets were painted.

If I had to choose again, I might go with the version without front brake cooling inlets.
