The Ford Taurus rear lower valance is the molded panel that sits directly below the rear bumper. It gives the back of the car a clean, finished line and shields the lower rear and underbody from road spray, grit, and minor impacts. This is a used panel that has been cleaned and inspected and is ready to mount and paint.
Most owners replace this part after a parking knock, curb scrape, or low speed rear hit cracks or tears the panel, or because age and sun have left the original brittle and faded. Because the panel is largely cosmetic and bolts on, swapping it is a low cost way to restore the factory look without paying for body filler or a full bumper.
