Thinking of "remodeling" my lower valance

Has anyone tried cutting their lower valance at angles kinda like this I was wondering what it might look like. I dont wanna get rid of it just yet.

Photoshop is new to me so any pics or maybe a quick photoshop would be appreciated.

i say go for it. It would look really cool. Someone on here did that to the valence on a 3rd gen runner and it looked really good.

^ I agree! but hey its all about innovation and new ideas u could take that idea and design something more appealing that everyone will want


but my truck mostly sees old farm roads and logging trails nothing it cant do with the valence I just figured the extra clearance would be nice if I wanna take it on the few rocks we have round here
