I am going to keep them but add either blue or gloss black overlays. Probably gloss black. It will just be on the flat portion. Should go with the wheels that way.

The ovals will stay they way they are, the F150 fender emblems will get overlays.

Why not remove and paint?

I think the wind noise is from leaving those 11 open holes once you remove the valance. I just drove 3 hours on the hwy and heard or felt nothing. I also am not a fan of trimming it by following the embossed curve like a lot of guys have done.

Cut it STRAIGHT across like I did, looks more natural/oem.

See, I think that looks horrible. I prefer the contour cut like I made. Its not even straight, you need to take a rasp to it. I dont have any wind noise either, at least not up to 85mph.
