I also had the bumpers milled from the inside out so they are a bit lighter than stock. I used euro crush tubes vs. the US hydraulic ones for more weight reduction - the entire assembly is fairly light, front and rear while retaining good crash protection.

The valence is a club sport valence and I welded the plate holes in on that as well.
Have you had any unwanted attention by the Law for not running a front plate? I had the front plate bracket break and was pulled over before I had it replaced. The only thing that saved me from a ticket was I carried the dirty license plate with me in the front floorboard and the trooper believed my story.
