You need the 4x4 front valence for open holes, that or cut out holes where the frame horns are and tow hooks/bullbar would be mounted. My truck is also 4x2 so I had to buy the hooks and valence.
If you're looking to do it yourself and cheaply, I see no reason why you couldn't measure and drill out with a holesaw. Would give you a nice round cut. You may even prefer the look without the valence (never seen my truck without it so I wouldn't know) and leave it off.
If you decide to try to cut the plastic yourself, buy an electric Multi-tool and you can create a perfect cut. They cost $20 to $35 at Harbor Freight (not Black & Decker though).
You would recommend to get this done professionally, correct?
No home grown hack job with a box cutter...
Box cutter won't get it, plastic is too thick. I figured since the holes are prominent up front I decided to get the 4x4 valance from Ford, didn't want to mess up her pretty face.
