The valance look a touch whiter than the fenders but that could be my monitor. Excellent job on making it fit so well and the paint looks real good. </div></div>

It's probably your monitor. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] The valance paint is much closer than the photos indicate. There are so many off angles and curves that a photo of the two panels at the same angle is almost impossible. The nose/bumper itself, is a noticeably different color than the fenders, hood, and valance, but that is the way they built them, so I don't want to mess with the patina.

Keep in mnd, also, that the polyethylene valances not painted when installed at the factory. They were molded in a variety of colors and were way off from the actual car color. So a bad mismatch would actually be more correct then a perfect paint match.
