Installing a CS Valance

[Evilcartman]

So I decided I wanted a little different front valance and the CS was perfect. I picked it up at the local Ford dealer and installed it in about an hour.

planning on doing this to mine soon as well as the boss splitter and GT500 rear lower valence

Edit: would it be easier to use a jack/jackstands to raise the car or wheel ramps? Curious if the ramps would get in the way.

Where is a good place to find all these body parts?

American muscle has them all. So does latemodel resto. I got my CS valence from AM

I like the GT500 rear Valance, I just didn't want to buy a part that need paint.

I found it very easy to do on the ground. I see no reason to jack it up.

LRS has a good selection and can bundle with the foglights and perhaps the brake cooling ducts if you ask them.

AM might do the same or price match, etc.

I thought the rear valence on the GT500 was just a simple swap and was the same black textured plastic like the front valence?

Thanks for the link.

I think Im gonna have to buy the CS valance, GT500 diffuser and the GT500 spoiler.

A word of warning on the spoiler, some members have reported the thing deforming in hot weather. Supposedly 3Dcarbon has addressed this but I haven't seen any proof. Not everyone's GT500 spoilers have deformed but enough have that I feel a warning is necessary.

I've got the reverse camera so I can't change spoilers but if you do want the GT500 spoiler, I would recommend buying OEM.

Thanks for the heads up. Is there anywhere online I can look for OEM spoilers to get an idea of what the price may be without having to call my local dealer?

Tousley usually has pretty fair prices. This may be the part you're looking for but it doesn't have a part number so there's no way to tell for sure.

Tousley Ford Parts Depot

Their customer service is pretty good so you could always call them and ask for the part number and verify that that product listing is correct.

Yeah Ive dealt with the guys at Tousley a few times with the L and those are some good people over there.

Thanks for the link. With the price of the OEM spoiler Im not sure why anybody would buy the other one.
