Default stock xlt valance mod?

so iv really looked my truck over lately, and iv just been in the mood for change, and an option that im thinking about is to cut the lower lip off my stock valance. i think itll make it look a little bit less bulky and a little bit less stock?



i dont have the stediest hand lol but somthing like this

i kow i could buy a new one with fogs n it, but i just dont have that kinda spendin money now n wont for a while, but i was thinkin about mountin sum type of lights n the middle two, either two thatll fit or having to cut a little bit to make em fit lol

"Theprodject01" has 2 pilot lights in his lower valence, looks awesome, been thinking about it myself. but he put them in the outter 2 slots. Look at my "profile" and he told me which ones he has

i think you should leave the lip!! it looks much better imo and more modified than a hacked up one lol but its your truck more power to yah if you cut it off but even without cutting the lip you could still add foglights and that would still look sweet..
good luck bro
