    I appreicate a detailed instruction(s) as to how you performed the task, I don't see how it's done????

    Appreciate your feed-back!

    Thanks, Chris.

    Remove the grills on the fenders to access the nuts and bolts that hold the valance to the fenders.
    Remove grill below bumper.
    Remove bolts that secure the valance to the frame under the battery.
    Grab the valance and slide it off like opening a drawer, its in a channel so it wont drop down, just pull straight forward and off she comes.

    here are a few more pics. re: the one with the hardware bag, if you look up and left of the bag you will see a small piece of thin sheet metal. i drilled out the pop rivets with a 330 ( 1/8) drill bit , sso i can re install huck / rivets. my valance was repairable, until they chopped on it with a sawz all at the body shop!! ( previous owner) i have 2 good estimates now on the frame work. i hope to have the car in the shop on tuesday. best. michael
