2018 lower valance (front bumper) fit 2015?

Anyone know if the new 2018 style front bumper valance will fit on a 2015-2017? New ones appear to wrap a bit farther back, and just look better imo.

Thanks!

They also look really low to the ground. The first '18 I saw in person I said to my wife "that lower air damn would be the first thing to go". In fact I'm considering removing mine. It's a damn truck and I shouldn't have to worry about it scraping on a curb..

How much increase do you think that ugly piece of plastic gives you?

There was a thread on a different forum, where guys said they lost approx 1 mpg after removing it....but they didn't care because they like the look.

CR172 can send his to wgotthardt and we'll have a wrap on this thread!!

Ugly is in the eyes of the owner... I'm careful around curbs and parking stops.

I have a 2015 that I drove for over a year with the "ugly piece of plastic" in place and after I removed it I saw no change in mileage. My driving is about 60% highway at 70-75mph.

Thank you. That's my point. That thing scraping a curb at work when parking is one reason for the leveling kit. That and I think the rake on these trucks looks really stupid and like a cat in heat with its butt in the air......

I'll have to use that quote if my dealer ever complains about my leveling kit !
