So I wanted the HD valance, but the cheapest I could find it was $380 shipped from a ford oem parts website. So I decided to buy the basic valance w/o tow hooks and get it painted. I just thought I would put this up in case some of y'all have wanted to paint yours, but didn't know how it would turn out, or what it would look like. So here it is:

 

What's the difference between the old and new one? Do you have pics of the old one? Looks great by the way , I also painted mine on my 04 as soon as I picked it up.has held up fine.

 

This is a FX2 model so it had the sport valance:

 

looks much better, I always thought the stock one looked ricey

 

Don't know what ricey means lol, but yeah I like the smooth rounded front end look of this one.

 

looks like the stock one belongs on a honda basically

 

I did not care for the rounded look I had, so I bought the Roush valance/spoiler. It does not curve out like the FX2, but rather comes down straight, giving it the NASCAR style truck look.

 

That's what I love about these trucks...so versatile, you can switch up your style numerous times.

 

Where can I get a HD or FX@ sport valance beside ford?

 

You can get a FX2 valance off eBay for around $120. The only places that have the HD valance are websites that sell oem ford parts, or every blue moon you'll come across someone trying to sell theirs.
