I would lose the other valance and replace it with a 4x4 valance with fog lights.

That's actually what i plan on doing someday, but for the price of the fogs, i couldn't pass them up, and it'll work good enough for now. I might paint the front bumper and whats lefts of the valance come summer though just to make it look better.
