Well I have been wanting to do this for a while so I just went ahead and did. I ordered all the parts that I need but instead of the 2wd valance I went with the 4wd Valance with the fog lights and tow hook holes. When everything arrived today I found out that the valance that was supposed to be black was really tan... so I went down to the paint shop where I originally was going to paint the new grille surround white and paint the valance flat black. And the Upper bumper pad did not show up.... I got a email from the company that the part did not get shipped and they refunded me the money so I went to a different website and ordered it again and it should be here around saturday or monday. so I will be posting pics when everything is on and setup!!!

 

pics or gtfo

 

Just remember the number one rule of this site! Pics or it didn't happen haha

 

Keep us posted and take plenty of pics, I plan on doing this mod in the spring to my 97, also going with the 4x4 valence w/tow hooks & fogs. Unless I can somehow locate an STX one.

 

Good luck. Was the hardest thing ever to find an STX valance for my truck.

I also found the upper bumper pad at a junkyard for a grand price of $3.95!

Pics, OP!

 

Alright guys I just got back from the paint shop with my grille surround and valance and it looks sooo sexy... I had my friend hold em.





Now all I am waiting on is the upper bumper pad to come in which should be maybe today or tommorow to put it all on!!!

 

Nice! Post pics when its finished.

 

Well I got everything put on (excluding the upper bumper pad, not in yet) It looks so much better even with the gap. I cant get any good pics of it right now because its too dark but I will tommorow.

 

Parts look good ... get a better looking model to hold them next time

 

 

i did this conversion as well... put the 4x4 valance on and the towhooks on the frame of my f150, it looks SOOO much better than the old ones yuckyy haha

 

Pictures will go up probably later today!!

 

That surround is beautiful!

Can't wait to see how this chrome/white/black pulls together.

 

Here its is guys.. all done and I think it looks soooo much better




All I need now is a new emblem lol

 

Sweet!
