Valance wanted

Bullet · June 15, 2008, 03:20:45 PM

I know it's retarded to ask on here if someone will sell me a valance, but if anybody knows where I could buy one new, or if you'd sell me one of yours I'll pay decently (everybody says it, but I'll do it)

I don't care what the color is, it just has to be it one piece, paint can be missing chipped, or spidered. doesn't matter.
I'll be getting it repainted anyway, along with re-enforcing it with an aluminum backing rod so it won't worp or break.

Thanks!!

How much would you want to spend? there is a car in town that has been sitting for a long time with a blow motor. It did have a for sale sign on it, it's now been moved to the back yard. I could stop and see what they want for the valance...if they'd part with it...but how much do you want to spend?

depends if it's really bent up, or straight.
if it's decently straight and you could throw me a picture of it.
how much do used ones usually go for though? would $75-120 be a good range?

Exactly! I've had no luck finding spares in the junkyards despite finding about 500+ 1991-1993 GP's over the past year or so. Every valence I've found so far has been damaged beyond repair(snapped completely in half or only chunks of them still bolted on).

as long as it's in one piece with no cracks, I'm fine with it. all I need is a price, and I'll buy it pending actual pictures of the piece itself.

Steve, check area junkyards.

they have nothing ;-(
although I could do the front end swap with the mid 90's GTP......
but I'd really rather keep the TGP looking like a TGP

There's a few near me, at junkyards, but they want you to buy the rest of the car its attached to lol. They fixed two up and are reselling them so it wouldn't be possible to buy one now.

I guess that's a good though...cuz now there are a couple more TGP's on the road...but sucks for me...lol

what cars were the valence available on, obviously TGPs, but also what, just 91-93 with B4U??

TGP Nick · June 25, 2008, 06:27:24 PM

Yes, only 91-93 B4U.
