I'd leave it alone, maybe put some fog lights in the openings though.

Oh, yeah. She'll have driving lights there. The one drawback to the ranger is the factory headlights don't light up the road very well.

I'm going to experiment designs in Paint to see what may work. I was thinking and another Ford logo would be too much since the grill already has one and lettering would be gone in no time due to road debris.

But if I design something for the CNC plasmacutter at work, who knows what I'll come up with!

I think it's stock on some models, I just went to LMC Truck and bought it for $30, I think.

They have a couple to choose from.............................

if you are going to use a cnc plasma cutter, it might melt that if it is plastic, but my opinion would be to cut out the letters ranger in the valence. it would be there but only noticeable at certain angles or covered in mud!
