Custom Valance - would like ideas

[KohrtRacing]

Ok so I want to get a little creative and wacky. Look away purists. You won’t like this thread.

So my valance is pretty trashed. It’s got holes, rust, dented in bad, you name it. It needs replacing OR something magical created for it.

Could I buy a valance at AMD? Sure. But that’s boring. Just spitballing ideas if they’ve ever been tried or exist. What if there was more done with these areas?

Thinking out of the box. My initial thought was fabricate a shadowbox with backlighting and rear facing(or front) laser jet plates of my racing logo.

Another idea was run the exhaust tips through? Maybe a radical exhaust tip situation? It is a full exhaust however my hesitation with this idea is at some it definitely won’t be. This is a full race car.

Would love ideas. I fabricate steel and want to imprint some of my metal work skills on the car. Just buying a new valance is probably what I’ll do…but it seems boring.

If I have it right, the AMD panel includes the valance and up behind the bumper....

The valance corners are separate. If you can shape sheet metal, I'd just make my own valance if I were you. You could also cut yours out, shape it how you want then weld it back in.

I would go factory, that *** is sweet. JMO

I would put cutouts in for the exhaust to poke through. Could do a little diffuser style too but not obnoxiously finned.
