I am looking to trim the front valance of my xj so that it is just the bumper in the center and the end caps are flush with the bottom of the bumper. The plastic crap keeps coming undone and is frustrating. Any pics and tips would be awesome. Thank you

Tips: pop the rivets up if you have a 97+ for the lower valence, and take a sawz all or whatever you want and then just cut the bumpercaps.

I removed mine and love the look.No ill effects. The ricets actually removed very easy.

Mine are painted, how should I go about this so that the paint does not flake? Thanks, aren't you worried about smashing those fogs? I just smashed one in the factory location last night on some ice. Thanks in advance.

Im not real worried about the fogs, only $20.00 so not a big deal.
