So I been looking and lookin for a front and rear bumper (I think they also call them a valance?) for a '78 grand prix... A friend of mine inhearited the car from their father and I been helpin out for a while cuz it's a close friend and the thing has a lot of sentimental value to them. If any one would by any chance know where something like this is sitting let me know, the midwest don't have much left layin around any more.

The only thing i can think of, is either ebay, or try craigslist.com's car parts section.

tried both and these things seem to be harder to find than I thought. craigslist had an entire front clip for a year newer but there's difference's. thanks anyway

The valence is typically the spoiler type material that gos below the bumper or right in front of the hood above the bumper. The valence name was used slightly differnetly depending on manufacturers, I have never heard a bumper called a valence though.
