Problem with the rear valance is it retains heat.
I have one of the crappy FG units that needs a total rework, if I do use it I'll add grated steel venting. But IMHO that will look rice, so right now I'm not using a rear valance. I have a Stainless steel GT front bumper and I have to make my valance and I'll be custom making it out of steel. I don't really care for the flat face correct opening, I think I'll try for a more rounded corner, scoop, pouting bottom lip like appearance. I won't get to this until later in the winter months. |
