Default How does it look?

I put a new 4x4 valence painted black ( i found it beige on a wrecked expidition) on my 4x2 today. I had to drill holes for the tow hooks and wasnt sure where exactly to set them. They come pretty far out and I'm worried they look stupid. Is it bad enough that I should re-drill? Or should I just leave it be?

I just cleaned it really well and sanded some spots, the paint I used claimed to not need primer, then I put some lacquer finish on once the paint dried. My buddy told me the towhooks came way to far out and look dumb. Just wanted to get a second opinion

Well if you could get us a decent shot, preferably from the side or directly above the hooks, we could give you an answer.
