S13 rear valences for coupe and hatch, different?

[S13S14S15]

Just wondering, are the rear valences for the coupe and the hatch different? I know that the hatch has three pieces, and the coupe has two. However, it seems that the two pieces look identical....can someone tell me if they are? Thanks.

They are not interchangeable....

correct, NOT interchangeable but it can be done, just looks poopy. its been done.

the coupe is long and flat
the fastback is curved

fastback: 3 pieces
coupe: 2 pieces

example:

but how come a lot of times, when i see rear valences for the hatch, it's usually two pieces and missing the center piece...

Thanks for specifying Dousan! I knew there were different, but not exactly how.

because they get crushed or broken
people park in reverse a lot and hit stuff (i hit my exhaust sometimes on those curbs)

hehe

that's why SOMETIMES its hard to find all 3 pieces on a fastback! :(

hmm, just wondering.. how much does the 3 piece valence for the hatchback usually go for?

average going rate (decent condition--no hardwares):



$250-400

they had a set on silviaparts.com but i emailed him and it was just sold (god damn it...) but he has a set without the center piece for $200.

i guess it doesn't look that bad without the center piece? what do you think?

[Dousan_PG]

you need all 3, looks SOOOOO MUCH better!!

[S13S14S15]

where can i find all three pieces..........besides jspec

[Dousan_PG]

all my friends got theirs from Jspec.com

your SOL i guess
