HELP!The front valance on my '66 conv. has no trim or holes for it, every one I've seen had these pieces, I bought the parts but now I'm thinking maybe I should leave it be. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking about the lip that goes between the front bumper and the bottom of the grill?
I would say that it needs the chrome trim, as long as you are installing the eyebrow moldings and hood lip molding. Otherwise the eyebrows are going to look unfinished where they would normally meet the ends of the valence trim.
This, of course, is just my opinion.

Thanks Dan,I thought it would look wrong too, I just didn't know why there are no holes for it. I've always had '68-'72s, this is my first '66 so I'm learning.

In 66 the there were 300 deluxes that were built without the lower 3 piece grille mldg.
Have a 300 Elky, looks kinda neat, actually.
If it is a Malibu, Custom, or SS, I believe it had the three piece lower mldg.
