Maybe that's it, thanks! I will pull the drawing out and see if it has a note restricting to the valence with cutouts (GTO).

The drawing does say "stake", different than what you are describing but ????

Was the cutout valance/splitters also used on GT-37? LeMans Sport? I saw another thread mention the LeMans Sport had a 6-cyl base engine. If so, and a Sport could use the cutouts and splitters, it sounds complicated.

Is it possible there was a plastic version of the rear valance?

I stumbled on that situation for the front valance... both steel and plastic valances were documented in the assembly drawings for a 1970 Tempest but I've never seen the plastic version nor a photo of one.

Back in the 80’s I was at a junk yard looking for a rear valance for a 70-72. I remember stumbling on to one that was broken and plastic…. It was still on the car but didn’t have exhaust cut outs

Wow, good memory!

Maybe that's what this guard is all about then... something to do with protecting a plastic valance? ??

I don't need a guard but I get curious when I see stuff on the assembly drawings that don't align with what I've got.

Hi--Saw this late. Not sure this will help but here are pictures of my valence.
