Rear Exhaust Valence

Hey guys,

I have my exhaust planned...amazing how cheap things get when you do the research and source it yourself...yet I have run into one problem before I wrap things up. I need a new rear valence with the dual side outlets. Palo Uber's price jacked up (I think it's at an absurd $349 now, up from $199 - bearable when I started researching a few months ago), so now I'm more than slightly SOL on this design.

Any ideas on how to get one/do one, completely OEM looking, and at a slightly less rediculous price? I have seen many people end up cutting it out themselves, but that still leaves the pointless gap in the middle as well as rough/thin/unfinished edges for the portions that were cut out.

- Matt

cooper bumper trim with a extra hole cut out on the other side. You would also need the two pieces where the side markers go in.

Also may want to look into the blue flame exhaust system as I think they also offer a dual valence as well.

I have been unable to find the Blue Flame exhaust listed anywhere for sale. Additionally, I just want the valence, not the whole system.

The regular Cooper rear bumper with a cutout is a decent idea yet you still have to cut something out, leaving that unfinished look of the whole thing. Call me a stickler for details .

He works directly with the Supplierin Europe, I think it'dbe worth it to give him a call and see if he can order the part for you. I have seen the Blue Flame part offered for sale independantly, which is why I mentioned it initally, I'm just afraid it was in a eeuro parts catalog
