Swapping out a Valance...

Can anyone tell me how, or if it's fairly easy to swap out a Valance on a 2006 Lariat? I am going to be replacing stock with an '07 FX2... Any tips appreciated.
Steve

I looked under there briefly today... Seems as though I might have some trouble getting to a couple of the bolts near the round fogs. Also, I have that Paper/Protector Material that is installed with what looks like Black Plastic Plugs about the size of a dime holding it in place. I cannot get to some of the bolts because of this. How can I remove this without just tearing it out?

just pull the plastic plugs out and move the rubber out of the way or do what i did and just completely remove it thats why i said use a 1/4" rachet cause its small and it will get in the tight spots im a professional at it now i had a factory one then a fx2 and now i have a harley valance lol

Thanks!
Were you able to get in at the ones near the fogs as well with the 1/4"? What is that rubber there for anyway?
Edit: Nevermind... I see in your pix you have no fogs... Nice rig!
Edit2:Thanks josh34, I figured that's probably what I'd have to do. Do you have to worry about positioning them(angle) or anything - or just pull em out and put em back in?
