No valence. Easier to clean, change/inspect tires.

Kinda digging the no valence look......

I know I am talking trailer styling lol, but I am a stickler for details.

The one advantage of the valence is it doesn’t expose the inner fender/frame which gets dirty/chipped up. I suppose I could spray bedliner in the inner fender well.

I think it depends on the color of the trailer. I have the valance and my trailer is black so it's not really noticeable. As you said the valance does hide a bit of the inner trailer and possibly offer a little more protection. We don't tow far these days so it's not a big deal to us. The no valance look kind of reminds me of 18-wheeler wheel covers now that I look at it lol.

Voting for valence here. No issues with cleaning so far.

It all depends on the wheel selection...you going upgraded 18s or stock wheel size?

Valance. Helps to smooth the lines on an otherwise boxy design and adds rigidity to the fender that gets a ton of traffic, weight, etc.

if doing black, you will be ok going without the valence BUT if your trailer color is lighter, I'd def. add it.
unless doing a triple, I'd always add the valence. if you can afford the triple, you can afford the detailer to clean it for ya :) :)

Agree 100%. With bigger/wider wheels the no valence looks really good IMO

Trailer will be pacific blue. Loved it on the last trailer. Ceramic coated it and it was so easy to clean.

I do agree the inner fenders would need to be coated in black bedliner.

If 18’s, gotta have the valence to match that tucked sports car look. Its the one thing I hate about the Paragon and the Centurions.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200826/f738546f8c83e895eab35c51f504dfa6.jpg
