STX Valence??

when the 05 or 04 ( I can't remember which) STX came out everyone loved the valence, but the only place to get it was the dealership who wanted around $800 for it.

I was wondering if anyone has found anywhere that carries them now for anywhere near the same price of the other OE valences and bumpers.

holla back youngins

It's look ghey on your 01-03. It's one of the few things to make the 04+ look half decent


I think it looks stupid when there's no side ground fx and nothing done to the rear other than an edge(sport) painted bumper.

Hideous. It needs some side skirts, like the prototype.

That truck looks insanely awesome. There's one by my house that almost looks like that.

Arise from your grave!


just curios if anyone has come across anywhere that sells the valence besides the Dealer. I have some plans in the works. but I don't like the Hillbank valence and I don't like an 800 pricetag either.

Can a brother get some Kool-Aid?

Plus, it's damaged. I'd shy away from it... but that's just me.

Personally I would try to find someone who worked at a dealer, and use their discount. Buy 'em a beer for their troubles, and call it a day.

I already have the full Roush Bodykit, but Like you, I HATE the front bumper.

Well... severely dislike... haha

It's not exclaiming ownership nor used as a conjunction with 'is' so it's spelled correctly.


That whole having 4wd thing must be going to your head still.

Nope... sitting in my office closet right now in about ten pieces... LMFAO.

So you're going for the Saleen theme too? Cool...

**** let's do it together bro, I can give you some pointers on do's/dont's... and trust me, there are a few. Mainly things that "enthusiasts" would bust your ***** for.... LOL

You going to try to make a racer using the TB front setup? Or just a cruiser?

NVM... I'm a retard. Thought you had an Edge for a second...

Bright Island Blue is a Bad@ss color, I dig it.

Keep on your guard, you'll get me yet





I'm not sure I like the Bright Island Blue like I used to. I want Flat Black. Paint is expensive however, so I doubt it.

I'm going more for the cruiser. I'm kinda of a "lipstick on a pig" guy.

I'm curious as to these tips, do share! unless it's not for public knowledge.

It's nothing covert... just useless info that most people wouldn't really even bother with...

For example:

The signature door-side Saleen stripes? Don't dare just slap 'em on... there's a "method to the madness" according to Saleen MFG. (BTW Saleen calls them "chevrons" FWIW... LOL)

Correct placement will put the FIRST front slash directly under the side mirror, with the second "fading slash" 3/4" directly behind that. Is it truly mandatory? Nah... but hardcore Mustang/Saleen enthusiasts will bust your ***** about it if you don't...

Details my nig, details.

That's just one example, of a thousand. Are you going to keep the factory engine?

Without going into too much detail... I'll simply say I'm adding two cylinders, and coming close to doubling my current displacement.
