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?
any updates?
Sorry bullet...been stupid busy getting my race car back together....i'll try and stop this week....
Man a valence is actually harder to get than the TGP itself lol!

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??
Yes, only 91-93 B4U.

Yes, only 91-93 B4U.
but will it fit and look like the stock part from the TGP?
Yup looks and fits like a TGP valance.
thats correct
I would love to find a valance, but it looks like a valance and my TGP arent in the books. My new driveway in Denver, I would rip the valance off the first time I drove in, backed out, or whatever.

then do it carefully...lol
Wouldnt make a diference. 6 inch curb into the driveway, 6 inch out. Need to see about getting it sloped, then I might be ok. But I doubt the city will allow it because of the grade of the hill over there off of 72nd.
You should see MY driveway...trailer court driveways suck when there's a sewer right by the driveway...I just go up at an angle.
By the way, I found a valance for you. $3500 or best offer...comes with the rest of my car lol.
Uhm.... NO! LOL. Would love to get a maroon TSTE thou..

I'm still interested in it, but my buddy who bought my car is ignoring my phone calls now...sucks to be me...lol
i bought a new one from GM a few years ago and had it painted...it's still under my bed since the 92 hasn't exactly moved in a while, lol. It was one of 2 or 3 available at the time, i think another member floating around here or W-body bought one a few months after i did. I paid a lot for it back then too! Fortunately my TGP came with one that's immaculate
I bought one brand new from GM 2 summers ago, and I'm glad I did.
You know what Matt i think you're the other one i was thinkin of!
