Default OEM rear valences ripped off, pix! 56k watch out

Yup, some some fawker decides to take my OEM rear valences overnight, manages to get one bracket off, says **** it and just rips the rest off. Good luck reinstalling that ****, thief. Anyhoo, if anyone sees some fucked up rear valences some moron's trying to sell, send me a PM with info. Also, i'm considering selling off the rest of the kit before they come back and get the rest so local people make me an offer (no shipping, sorry).

Unfortunately, thieves stole my OEM ITR front lip off of my car about a year ago and they also tried to steal the rear clips as well but weren't successful. They only managed to unscrew the tapping screws holding it in place on the sides.

All thieves should be CURB STOMPED...

Very true... rarer and rarer by the day.

The bumper install pics taken wont be on till tonight when i get my camera back.
I was busy reinstalling the Rear calipers before dark and left the camera at the garage.

Here are photos i managed to download off the camera the day before https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=549737

You will see that i did not use the double sided adhesive tape as suggested but a staple bolt used to repair urethane bumpers. My friend told me this would firmly secure the valance more so than the two bolts at the bottom could have done.

Pics tonight... sorry for the delay.

Purchase an alarm with a paging system, and buy a gun!

Ok... sorry for the delay...

here are some things i've done to mount my rear valances.

Larger washers were used on the inner side of the bumpers. This was done so to protect the bumper and also to create more surface area for the mounting point.

These screws are fairly standard for the kit


Here's the bolts for the other side of the bumper.


Close up:


In the inner valance, we jigged a staple used for urethane bumper repair. The inner corner was relatively loose compared to the rest of the valence so it appeared that the double sided tape just wasnt enough.


Its barely noticible unless you stick your nose in my exhaust pipe and look up
Even if you manage to tear these off, they will be unusable to the next fellow.

Bewared if you see someone selling damaged vallances, they may be stolen.
