View Full Version : S13 coupe rear valence on fastback?

I know that the oem fastback valences are three piece and since the fastback is curved in the rear and the coupe is flat in the rear, that the rear valences would be specific to body style.

I am wondering if that only applies to the middle piece.

For people (like me) who may want a subtle rear valence, maybe a coupe rear valence (side pieces only) will work on a fastback?

There is some evidence that this is possible since I have seen in a couple of other posts where a coupe valence may have been used on a fastback (specifically a dark green fastback).

If anyone can confirm if the rear side valences are interchangeable that would great info for me to know. If it is not a direct fit, how badly does it not fit? Anything that can be easily trimmed to fit?

got any pics of the fitment issue you mention? I guess that means the fastback rear bumper slopes upwards more than the coupe rear bumper? Or maybe slopes away from the outer edges (more rounded).

How bad is the gap?

Lastly for those that have accomplished this, how was it done?
