looks much much better! leave the bottom valance as you'll wind up wanting to get it repainted after the first rock chip aka the first week!

Well I would say paint it up, however if you paint white on black. Every chip will show up and stick out like a sore . . .thumb. Looks good as is, would look good with the rest painted but you just have to weigh out your options. Lookin good!

Definately do the rear caps and lower valance color matched you will not regret it, it will finish the truck off nicely! If you get stone chips (which are going to happen) buy some touch-up or get it repainted!

paint it and keep some touch up paint with you... i think painting the bottom valence white really sets your truck apart from all the other trucks with just the top bumper cap painted....gives it more of a rare look imo....

Mirrors came out nice, I really like them...I say paint the lower bumper piece white and the chin spoiler flat black just to keep it subtle.

If they smooth the bottom valence with light filler primer like light grey, you'll never see the chips. I agree, a colormatched lower valence completes the look. I had mine black forever but finally painted it and it looks sweet. Totally worth worrying about chips.
