Plastic front bumper valance

I like the way a plastic lower front bumper valance looks on a lowered truck, I think it adds to the sporty look when done right. I was wondering if anyone has added one to our bumps or knows of an aftermarket or OE unit that fits our bumpers?

Some early 90s Econolines had a simple duckbill air dam/spoiler but they're hard to find as I have found.

An option is a spoiler from a 2011-2013 SuperDuty as pictured below. It will require some custom mounts and blank-off plates (plastic or metal) due to the spoiler's curvature. Be advised they come in two versions... a 4-inch and an 8-inch.



Here you go:

Thank you HIO for the pics! I think one about 1/2 the height of that bump and further forward like the F250 would be spot on.

You're welcome.

In principle, the air dam should extend at or below the lowest point of the suspension to minimize underbody turbulence. I do believe that would be the I-beams.
