PIAA front lower valance/air dam...

Why the F did PIAA stop making them? I love the looks and really want one! I think we all should email/call PIAA and get them to make a special onetime deal and sell them for a few months so we have the chance to buy them again. Or we get them to make them forever haha. I think if we bombard them with emails and phone calls they will have to make a few of them...

What do you guys think?

I know there is many of us out there that want the lower valance.

Here is the PIAA part number 30530

And a picture of the bumper(hope whoever owns this truck does not get mad I used it for the picture, truck looks good with the valance!)

Why did they stop ? The product ran its course and the sales dropped off.
Same reason Sylvania stopped making the HID replacement headlamps ( new headlamp buckets made for HIDs ) for the 99-03 MY range, the sales fell off to a point it did not make sense to keep making them, and shut down the line.

Never hurts to ask, the worst they can say is no. Don't know if you can get 5,000 individual people to email asking about it, and I don't know if that would even be enough to get the line back up and running to make them again.

I really like how they looked, and the functionality of them is great. The 520s in the same position as the factory fogs, made the factory gear look like marker lamps.

My 2001


It bit it in the 1 accident I had, and dad has that truck now for work, he could care less.

Well if you're willing to sell it I will be more than happy to buy it and send you my stock 4X4 valance and fog lights!

I was just throwing the idea out there and making small talk. Kinda my way of venting I can not find one haha...

I too agree that they will probably not start selling them again.

I really really want one! I can't stand my stock 4X4 grey valance. I was going to PTM but I might try and find a lightning valance if I can't get a hold of a PIAA valance.

IF ANYONE HAS ONE AND IS WILLING TO SELL, I WILL GIVE A GOOD PENNY TO HAVE ONE!!!
