i just put on my rear valences the other day, when i got them i didnt receive any type of hardware so i hard to drill holes and **** w/o a template. anyways, the holes went fine and the screws on the side were easy to put on.

when i went to put the inner corners in, i noticed the **** kept wanting to hang off as u can kinda see in the pics. there is a kinda clip in there where a "double-side washer" or something is suppose to go, i have no idea wtf that is so i just used double sided tape. obviously that didnt work too sell. i used the gray **** that is sticky as hell and it still doesnt mount right.

does anyone know where to get the factory hardware or any other way of puttin these on? now when i go wash my car and water gets down there, the pieces slowly start to come off.

p.s. i got pissed off so i stuck it all over.. heh theres a bit of a gap due to the fact that there is no weather stripping

isnt there supposed to be some kind of seam filler tape stuff (whatever its called) to fill in the cracks and make it look cleaner?

Yeah, there should be that black rubber seam all the way around.

 

The weather stripping is supposed to be there, but that gap is definitely because the bolt and nut is missing there. I would suggest getting a screw and nut that fits in there to eliminate the gap! Try going to home depot and get a screw that has a thin flat head that would slide right into the slot on the valence. (Picture of valence below. If you notice, there's a slot where the screw slides in. Just make sure that the head of the screw is flat enough to slide in there.) Also, in case you didn't know, you would have to drill a hole for that nut and bolt.

As far as the factory hardware and weather stripping go, have you checked at your local dealership?

Slow server...

 

You're missing a screw here on both sides:

 

uhh.. i dont think im gonna go as far as that haha

 

One of my friends used black silicone to mount his. He didn't have and harwear either. Since your caR is black you should be ok

 

wow, that looks like crap with the screw through it like that...

Hey, looks a hell of a lot better than what yours look like now. The screws are invisible unless you're at eye-level with them.

 

Screws aren't SUPPOSE to be there, but I know a lot of people that do it to prevent theft. I think I would personally rivet it to the bumper right there instead of a screw so people don't even think about stealing it.

 

 

You need the weather stripping to make it fit w/ no gaps. I saw a link on this forum once where u can find replacement.. i tried searching but I couldn't find it.. i know it's here though

There should be a bolt that slides down into to these slots(circled in red) on the rear section. You have to drill a hole into the rear bumper then once it is all tightened down it will sit flush. If you bought it new it should have come with little rubber sticky donuts that your put in the tab and it will then stick to the bumper letting you know where to drill. Buying it used is just a guessing game unless you figure out a way to mark it.

There is no need to drill a hole here.

looks like when it was uninstalled they just ripped it right off the car.

 

yep....

 

could always try to make a new one with bondo, or gorilla hair, or some other fibreglass stuff. It won't be perfect, but it may hold for a while.

 

Look's good.

FWIW, the valances are a bitch to take off once installed. The plastic piece that holds the square head bolt isn't strong enough to hold the head stationary while removing the nut from the bolt.

I removed a set and messed up the bolt slot...




Sorry about the bad pics...

so what did u do to mount it since they are messed up now?
