Boatmate trailer fenders
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.

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.
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
