Default before and after, the wrong way

running short on time, so I crossed a flooded road during the rain and I think something in the water snatched the rear valance off and destroyed it. I didn't know it until I heard a draging noise closer to my destination. This is the only thing left hanging. oh well **** happens. Luckily I still had my S4 rear.

Default I don't think their defective, just not properly supported and attached to the rear bumper....

I have some ideas for the new one, if I can get the cash for it. First off, the clips that attach it to the bumper aren't like the OEM ones that atually clip on and not just slide in. Second, I used rivets and I think that zip ties would of held to the plastic stronger. But I think nothing could of prevented it from being ripped off by something in the water.

Default I used to think that until I saw it in person on my car, it goes good with the rest of the kit....

It's a clean mildly aggressive look. Compared to the ricers around here, it's non aggressive.
