Just got done installing YotaX front and rear matte black valances

I did NOT drop the front bumper for the front valance. What a pain in the ass. If I was going to do it again i'd take the bumper off. Took me about 2 hours for the front.

I dropped the bumper for the rear and it was actually 5x easier than the front. It took me about 45 mins.

I love the aesthetics of the matte black on the black ORP. Fit and finish is good, not great. I'm OCD and there are some alignment and fitment issues that are disappointing. Most people would never notice but it's bugging me. Overall they are pretty nice and they are cheap. In my humble opinion, I think these valances in matte look much better than gloss on a 4R. I'm so pissed my new tires haven't arrived yet. These stock baloney skins are shameful.

 

For me the front took less time then the rear, about 30 minutes. I went OEM so that may be a factor.

I followed this YouTube video which gave me a good idea of where the clips were located..

I just had a helluva time getting the clips off the front OEM valance.... some of them were really hard to reach and get a good angle on. I removed the radiator shroud to get at the top ones.... but the ones on the ends were pure agony. I ended up breaking one tab on the OEM valance.
