In my opinion, Blazers tend to look better with the valance gone. I took mine off.
I suggest you get a new bumper or fix your old one, would make it look much better.

If you put it back on and you off road any, it will take itself off.

Aesthetically or functionally? Personally, I prefer the looks with the valance. Unless it's beat to heck, of course. The smooth, classy (dare I say "classic"?) lines of the Blazer suddenly jerk to an stop with an unexpected view of the internals. It's like a beautiful woman who has exposed jawbone... Ok, it's nothing like that. Not even close. Sorry to put that image in your mind. Forget I ever said it.

But it does look unfinished to me. On the other hand - if you're offroad a lot it's probably more gooder without

To be honest, the valence looks better to the people who don't know anything about offroading. All they say is ooo, that guy has a bunch of rusty parts under his truck. Must be a redneck! Just my .02.

I think a trimmed lower valence looks great! It is in between the two extremes!

I hope you didn't take that personally. I spend at least 87% of my time on blacktop ... Well maintained blacktop. Flimsy stuff bolted on mainly for looks that's also the first thing to catch rocks/tree stumps/ditches/etc are ... What's that word? Superfluous? Something like that.

But I still like the looks
