Lower valance replacement

[JJB]

My '21 ST is going to the body shop to replace the lower valance (all the black pieces under the bumper cover) after hitting a coyote. Does anybody have recomendations on upgrades for these parts? Are ST, XLT or Timberline interchangeable?
Has anyone had these painted body color? Mine is Atlas Blue. Any other exterior ideas while it is in the body shop?

The radiator will also be replaced, does anybody make a gaurd that goes behind the valance parts to protect the condensor and radiator? The appear to be vulnerable.

Thanks for the ideas!

ST has a different front balance than all of those. Timberline is off road oriented and doesn’t look good with the purpose of the ST. XLT doesn’t have the gloss black “splitter” in the front. Yes, people have painted those pieces, but along with all the other black pieces which is costly due to the prep it takes to paint them. I don’t have a picture of a blue one, but you can search painted trim blue and it will pull it up on Google.

Make sure to check if all the underbody pieces are secure.

I have a related question, not a reply. Can I install a lower rear balance from a ST on a XLT?

Not sure but I would think you would have a better chance swapping out the bumper cover with valance instead of just the lower valance.

As long as you replace everything below the painted part of the bumper, yes.

I HAVE A RELATED QUESTION ON THE REAR VALANCE. HAS ANYONE REPLACED ONE ON A 2022 EXPLORER XLT?
