HD valence or.......

Lately I've been tossing around the idea of running stock 4x4 valence and selling the hd valence......but i just can't decide.

also thinking about going back to chrome lightning heads






or just leave it as be, my mind is all over the place now

yeah it doesn't but it does look nice from time to time lol.

guess it is time to go get a 4x4 valence then. at least i won't have to worry about hitting anything with it lol, since they're easily available.

for the right price, i may be interested
i have the valence and correct brackets from tasca, along with foglights, 1 being a brand new one because the current one is cracked, the other is just fine. and also i can throw in some ddm 4300k hid's that fit the fogs.

I don't know the difference between the 4x4 and the 2wd version, but I have been looking at getting a HD or STX valance for my Black 2003 XLT Scab Sport. I was really looking for a 2003 STX valance (Rarer than hens teeth), but the HD looks similar and I like both of them.

I really think it would look great on my Black truck, much better that the stock grey valance. I also think it would go great with the Cobra style hood that was already on my truck when I purchased it. What I can't understand about my truck is that it is a Sport model with everything on the truck in black but it has that ugly grey valance, uggghhh!

I am tossing my name into the ring for an offer to purchase the HD valance if you decide to remove it and the price is right.



Apologies for the resurrection, I bought Coobies HD Valance, go to last post in this thread for installed picture!

You think an STX valence is hard to find or expensive try finding an 03 Harley valence

I though the bumpers for the 99-03's were all the same and that the 97-98's were different. So a valance from an 01 should fit an 03, right?

Yeah the 03 are stupid rare and pricy! The dealership sells them for an arm and a leg. $1300 if I recall correctly.
