Default Opinions please

So I have seen a couple trucks without that bottom black piece on the bumper, but none of them sports, and the sport piece has to be cut off, I know paul07 did his, but I thought it looked a little rough, if I do it I am willing to go to the effort of really making it nice and even.

my question for everyone is, do they think I should do this? Im just wondering if people think it will look better without that faded black piece on a white sport bumper... I mean my truck is all white with black trim as everyone has seen, so Im just not sure... what do you all think?

Remove it or keep it?

Keep it, you have the black/white combo going with your truck.

cut it off! the only reason i still have mine is cuz the bottom of the bull bar would look funky and soon im getting a front hitch and want it hidden behind that piece..

you will gain a better approach angle as well with it off

My truck origanally didn't come with the valence and my truck looked like it was missing something because of it. If your offroading alot , sure take it off, but its 6 bolts and its back on, so save it. the trucks in my opinion that are missing it, specially the ones that have been lifted/leveled in my opinion just dont look right

Leave it on. Just use some form of a plastic conditioner to bring back the black. Not having the lip makes the truck look like it has a massive under bite sorta like that one weird kid in school.
