I got to try to fix that ugly look here at work. Any thoughts?

Looks much better...I think that removing the tow hooks and painting that last center piece of the lower bumper would finish it off perfectly...along with a billet bowtie

Wow, that's an incredible difference!

I'm going to disagree with the others and say leave the tow hooks and the lower valance the way they are. Though I will agree that a billet bowtie would look very nice . . .

I agree about the lower bumper. Being that the truck is new I don't want to have that painted since we have to have a full warrenty on everything. The tow hooks were added since there are holes in the lower panel for them and without them it just looks like there are empty holes. I wouldn't have put them on there for any reason other than to fill the hole.
