Default Deer Damage

Ok, so a few months ago I hit a deer....again. Second one since I owned the truck. The deer hit and went under my truck, I am sure he did not make it and since it was 6am I wasn't going to stop to see. Luckily the only damage that happened to my truck was it damaged the front valence under the bumper.

I don't want to replace it with a stock one, I want something that will look better. I have seen some on Stylintrucks.com but was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for places to shop. Also can I replace the valence without replacing the bumper cover or is it better to do both at the same time

You can replace just the valance. The only aftermarket one I know is PIAA and it's rare as hell,if you find one expect to drop $700+ on it. Here is the damage after I hit a deer,the deer was dead. Was gutting it at midnight lol

Is your truck ever not covered in frozen mud? Every time you post a picture, it's the exact same.

Yeah as stated before, the PIAA valence is rare, and VERY expensive WHEN you find them. All I did was swap out my valence for a factory style when I put fog lights on mine. If you want a better look for not a huge amount, best thing to do is go with a set of clear DEPO fogs. I know its still the factory style valence, but $150 sounds a lot better than a very scarce valence for 700+.

It has snowed here once since I've owned it,so the frozen part is rare.. but yes it is always covered in mud
