Rear valence options

[RyanRaduechel]

Can someone break down the different rear valence combinations for me? I know the base model GT is all black on the bottom. My car is a premium PP that is black then has a color matched diffuser. I'm just wondering which options have the all color matched valence.

Thanks

The V6, base EB and GT all have fully body colored rear bumpers, the rear valance is part of it. The Premium EB and GT have a more pronounced textured black plastic rear valance (separate piece from the body colored bumper), the body colored middle rear balance section is actually part of the rear bumper. The GT 350 rear bumper is the same the Premium, only the rear valance is different.

Are you trying to swap to a base rear bumper?

Well this is what I have, I just want it to be all orange. I started pulling shit apart to get it off to sand and paint it. I wonder if a swap would be easier.

You will have absolutely 0 issues trading bumpers with someone local if you start a thread. Many people want the premium bumper to change to aftermarket diffusers.

You can easily find someone who has a base bumper willing to swap and probably get $200-300 on top of the trade. Just make sure that's what you really want to do. The base bumper integrated rear valance isn't nearly as pronounced or as cool looking IMO as the premium. Look at the some pictures of the base bumper carefully.

Just noticed you have the rear parking sensors, if you swap with a base bumper you'll look those sensors. Another option would be to remove the rear valance and have a bodyshop paint it. Removing it is straightforward, you can find instruction on Youtube easily. Paint would be maybe $200 or so.
