Carbon fibre rear valance

Hey
Just in the process of changing my exhaust (AGAIN!!!)
it requires the cutouts in the rear valance, which i havent got so, does anyone make a rear valance, would it be affected by the heat given off by the exhaust??
thanks
Adam

I'm working on the mold for a C/F rear valance right now but I think LA Performance has them.

When I get them done, there's one with your name on it.

Joe,

Are you building yours as a removable rear valence or as a replacement? In looking at my metal replacement valence I am curious how you will mold the upper attachements that wrap around the body.

Thanks

Randy

Randy,
I'll be making both, removable and as a replacement The replacement will have the same mounting points as the stock one and the removable one will have no flanges but will accommodate for duez fasteners.

Thanks,

what style are they going to be? bubble valance? late valance for with vented decklid?
do you use heat proof resins? will the heat affect it?

Adam,
The valance I'm making will be the bubble type, it will be made out a very hi-temp resin the same risen I use to make my valve covers.
