WTB Gen 1 TRD front valences, any color

Please help.

I had previously purchased Gen 1.5's thinking that it would be an easy fix to install on the Gen 1 front, and althought I can probably get them to fit correctly, I wouldn't want to have to continue adding 3M tape as they pop out of position.

I decided to try and locate a pair. Please reply if you have or know someone that has a set of TRD (Mollys) front valences for sale.

They will be repainted so color doesn't mater, even condition can be negotiated if they are repairable. They just cannot be cracked.

^ why not just screw or drill them into place?

The curvature appeared to be different in the Gens as well, and if you screw the bottoms together, the middle bumps out and I do not believe that the 3M tape will be enought to stop that gap from appearing, frequently, especially on bumpy NYC roads. LOL

I'm hoping someone out there has some that they don't want or I just need the 1 on the drivers side front. My other one could be salvaged.

man you are going to have a heck of a time finding a Gen1 lip kit, it is almost impossible now a days. What I would suggest to you is to take it to a shop, and have them professionally install it for you. Yes you may end up spending a little more than what you'd want to spend, but it will be worth it.

Yeah, find a different shop. If that previous shop couldn't do it, then they shouldn't be touching your car. Think about it, some of the members here did it successfully themselves and they aren't professionals. Sad to say, but what does that tell you about your shop?

True, I guess they just wanted to do the body work, not the customization work. Need to find a shop here is NYC that would be willing to make the efford then.

Maybe I won't sell the part just yet.

Anyone know of any reputable shops in NY/NJ area.
