I'm sure that it was designed to improve fuel mileage, help keep the engine cool, aerodynamics, blah blah blah, lol.

As long as I don't notice anything drastically different it's staying off. If I do notice a difference I'll just bolt it right back on.

Some would say the valance is to cover up the Prius Catchers, others would say the Prius Catchers are only there to support the valance.

Ford engineers would likely say that they are carefully integrated to work together for multiple benefits to humanity and removing them will increase global warming, blah, blah, blah.

Yep, if I ever get my F250 they'll likely come off too.

How close are to Winchester? Not really familiar with the area yet. Still waiting on my new truck and this is going to be one of the first mod I do.

I'm probably going to just remove mine. Anybody come up with a better option than black spray paint for the tabs under the bumper? I'm wondering if plasti-dip or something might be better.

After driving for a week or two and doing a hard reset on the fuel mileage deal, and I'm still averaging 14.4 - 14.6 MPG.
