Would a FX2 lower valance look odd on my FX4?
I have been kicking around the idea about replacing my black lower valance on my FX4 with a DSG FX2 valance. My truck is silver & DSG (pics in gallery).
Do you think it would look out of place? I have not seen another FX4 do it so I am just trying to visualize on my ride. Opinions welcome and thanks

Tow hooks were removed a while ago and replaced with 07 black valance (no hook cutouts). As mentioned pics in gallery w/current pics. Thanks.

It *will* look funny. the way it angles out on the bottom is clearly meant to be near the ground. I've seen the previous gen F150s that are lifted with a Lightning bumper and it looks HORRENDOUS.
I promise you it will look bad- don't do it.

Nice trucks Airborne
I love the color combo on the fx4
I gotta side with Lumadar though
Hes right. THe big 4x4s that run the lightning front do look horrible. Ive rattled the idea of an fx2 valance on my 2wd but i think it would look bad without a drop. well that and i dont have a PTM bumper. I have seen a few bumper covers that look agressive for a lifted 4x4. Look around the net a bit.
Oh and lumadar, you got a pm

How about just painting that valence you put on in DSG? It would then match your bumper and give you a custom look.
