I'm assuming you're talking about the lower valence that runs from the back of the front bumper to the radiator? Also holds the bottom on the grille. I know black dragon sells new ones but they would need paint. Also They aren't cheap. If you've got an SA theyre $40, FB $600, or if you've got the "gills" theyre $500. No those aren't typos.

One of them, yours would be the $500 valance luckily? lol. I would keep an eye out for solid used ones too cause it would be a LOT cheaper.

Junk yards can be your friend for stuff like this; also, people parting out cars in the For Sale section. IIRC these are bolt-on parts, so getting them off an old car without ruining them is not a big deal.

They are bolt on but you gotta keep an eye on it, the aged plastic can rip and tear quite easily when you back the bolts out.

Or if you are a racer:
SPOILER, FRT
Part No : FA54-51-980
The regular price is $522.47
The sale price is $313.42
Honestly though, look in the classifieds.
