Porsche Crest Lower Valance Alternatives

I'm looking to ditch my fog lights, but I can't seem to find a lower valance besides the RUF. Any recommendations besides harming the original?
Thanks

I don't see that variant on the website. Hmm

I'm not sure I dig the fog less look of the stock valance.

Looks better once you add a factory front spoiler.

I did a cheap, but very nice upgrade of the existing valance. Ditched the fog lights and grafted in two brake duct scoops ($19 on eBay).
And then I made a grille in the middle, using a rear deck lid grille. Looks way cooler than the original, but at the same time it is original... Give the car a more agressive look, without the RSR or Ruf style valances that are so common.

Thanks for input. I prefer the look of both over the stock. Pierre, do you have any major issues with getting the slant nose valance to fit?

Here is my '74 without fogs. I do think it would look better with the rubber spoiler added - I may try that someday.

Eric, what details are you looking for? The pictures tell most of it...
I bought two brake ducts on eBay for $19 each, and grafted them in where the fog lights used to be. I needed to cut a little off the valance to make them fit.
The grille is from an SC, I bought it on this forum for $100. So I cut a hole in the middle, and grafted the grille in.
The guards red paint is actually Rustoleum Signal Red, nearly identical to the Guards Red. On the lower valance you are not able to tell the difference. The whole thing cost me no more than $150...
I think the grille and the brake ducts give my car kind of a Singer look to it, except mine is a short hood of course...
It's fun to have something that nobody else have, but still look kind of original.
