I like your idea for making the valance more flush with the bumper.
Yes, that's my plan. I'd like the dimension between the valance and the edge of the bumper to be consistent instead of narrowing in the center like it does. Only way to make that happen is to massage the center of the bumper to peak it more. it will take some finesse, as I want to send it out for chrome when I'm done... and I hate whoop-dee-doo's in chrome pieces.
