    Does anyone know what the S3 rear valance panel is made out of? I'd like to make it black to match my black optics package. If its plastic I assume it cant be powder coated it and in that case it would have to be painted. I dont want to spray dip it as I am concern about heat from the exhaust and durability.
    How easy is it to remove from the bumper?

    its obviously a plastic valance.. spray on plastic dip has really high temp resist. some have even used it on their exhaust tips. but according to other forums I wouldn't recommend that if you track the car.

    PlastiDip would be a great option that can easily be reversed if you don't like the end result.

    Have you been able to find a "how-to" for removing the rear bumper? Curious as I'd like to pop mine off.
