new valance

Found a new valance for my truck off CL. Should I leave it stock, PTM or something else? Think I'm gonna wait til next spring before I put it on, so no hurry. I can't recall seeing any other 4x4 with ptm in my color on here. I think I will get clear fogs and some Lightning or HD style headlights and signals for a front end renewal next spring too. Any pictures of ptm valances would be appreciated.

That's a pretty flexible peice, the paint might crack and flake pretty easily.

I didn't do mine completely...I left the middle by the license plate bracket alone, but you can see it in my sig. I think there's close ups in one of my albums...done right it won't flake or crack

That looks good with the PTM valance. My truck is black so I haven't considered it to much, but would still look better with it the actual body color. How long has yours been painted?

I don't have any chrome on my bumper to have any contrast with the body color. Just wonder if that's too much silver or not.
