Need your help with decision on front end

I have a 2002 4x4 and the front bumper has been dented as indicated in the circle on the picture below. I'm not a big fan of the valance bottom with the waves as circled in red so since I've got to do something with the bumper I was thinking of going with a cover. I'm not seeing many options that include the tow hooks. I guess I could take the hooks off if I have to. I'm including some pics of what I'm looking for as far as looks go. Any opinions or suggestions?

Bumper/valance #1 this one seems to be straight across the bottom but I'm not sure where to find one like this. Is it a cover and what year/make?

#2 I really like the looks of this one but not sure if it will hide my brush pan underneath. The hooks have to be removed?

#1 is a 97-98 4x4 front bumper/vanace. You will also need the 97-98 grille surround. #2 looks like the hooks may need to be removed, again, not sure. #3 is a Lightning bumper cover, no holes for hooks in that one at all.

Thanks for taking the time to reply 97madness. I think I'm liking the #2 cover. I believe it's a Xenon. Anyone else have a comment?

#2 looks the best to me. The lightning one would look funny on a 4x4 and the first one would require additional parts and date you truck by 4 or 5 years.

I vote #2, and if it doesn't hide your brush pan, take the pan off and paint it PTM.

OK, thanks for the replies. I really like the looks of #2 the best so I think that's what it will be. Glad you'll agree!
