View Full Version : Finally!!
I finally broke down and bought a front vallance for my truck. I have always liked them, but never gone and gotten one. They are a ***** to take off!!!! But here it is installed. Other than lookin cool, it doesnt do jack squat.

heh. it was a sir micheals smoothie. One night while parking at a bar (before drinking i might add) I backed into something, destroying both my tailgate and my smooth rollpan. to cover it up, i had a body shop put in a separate sir micheals license plate box w/light. of course they f*cked it up... but yeah. sir micheals. good quality stuff.

true. you can't quite tell with the license plate box because of the angle. the problem is it's at a crazyass angle, not even level with the truck. and instead of being a drop tag like its supposed to be, he put it too high, and there's gaps were you can see inside the roll pan.
i hate when you pay good money and it gets hacked. if i'm gonna pay someone to do something i want it done right. and was the roll pan painted cause it looks all grayed out.
and 2 page's is not whoreing a thread

well the drivers side is rattle canned, because the guy used yellow primer... couldn't roll around with that ****. and he tried to tape it off, but he forgot about the damn GRIND MARKS he made everwhere else with the die grinder.... damn idiot. originally the rear was smoothed by a shop in germany, where they charged 67 euros an hour..... cost about 1000 to do it. it was smooooooooth
some people just suck at what they do. i like to do things myself its cheaper and if you screw it up you got no one to be mad at but your self and you dont feel like you got screwed.
i got no clue how much 1000 euros equals but sounds like alot

If I start to get really hard on them, then I will holla at you, but sitting at stock height, i am not too worried about it. I ended up notching it where it is supposed to slip between the bumper and the frame. Made things sooooo much easier and you cant tell.
