Installed rear valence and LEDs

Hey guys,

Just thought I would share some pics of Bat's rear valence. I installed it myself last night. This was the first time I have ever installed vinyl. I cleaned the bumper off first, and then sprayed it with soap and water. I then took the vinyl and placed it on the bumper. It was kind of hard to get at first. You need patience for this part. I used a hair dryer to set it where I wanted it, and then used my fingers to squeegee out all the air bubbles. It is a tiny bit off on the top on the left side, but I don’t think anyone is going to notice. Overall, I am pleased with the valance and hope it holds up.

I also installed new parking LEDs. These are Oracle T10 LEDs. I have purchased many different LEDs in the past, and they just seemed to burn out really fast. I am hoping these are a little better. These LEDs are BRIGHT AS **** at night. You probably cannot see it in the day time pics. I will try to get some night pics asap. They also match my 6000K HIDs perfectly. Here is a link to the LEDs.

Enjoy!

Looks good man. Perfect for a first timer.
I had professionals install my Bat's valence. They never had experience with the vinyl that Bat used so it took them about 2 hours to install. The only problem is the curve where license plate is at. Bubbles kept forming there so I cut a small slit in the vinyl. Not really noticeable, but it's there.
