96-98 bumper/valence cutting

I had posted some other pics of my rig and people kept comenting on my lower valence being cut so I thought I would post it here in case anyone else wanted to imitate it.

I used a 4" angel grinder with a metal cutting blade on it and it worked great really clean and NO I didn't take it off to cut it. Just take some masking tape and tape off what you want to cut and then follow the line of the tape after your done take some sand paper to it just to get the extra plastic off and your done takes about 10 min. to do it right.

No reason really just painted it black we don't have to have a front license plate here in AR so I just put a really old one on the front from 1967 that was all rusted so I painted it.
