IMHO it looks sleeker with the OE front valance, but you need to straighten that ding & repaint it.

Back in the 70's there was an aftermarket spoiler/valence which had essentially the OE valence profile with a flexible synthetic rubber blade spoiler coming off the lower-rearward portion of the stock valence.

Think of a thin black flexible spoiler blade about 3" deep coming out at about 60 degrees below horizontal from the lowest point on your stock valence.

IIRC Performance Products & a few other aftermarket "Porsche-hauses" sold them. Wish I could find a pic of one in my old PP catalogs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

IMHO those were best looking, and the flexible blade bent if you hit a tire stop, curb, driveway apron - so it wouldn't break the blade nor the GFR resin valance portion.

Love that Alaska Blue!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

PS - get Mikey's repro bumper top pads for those bumpers. That dimpling on yours means it's rusting at the stiffener & studs inside, and it will eventually crack on the top &/or underside, then dribble rust down on that nice chrome bumper & sweet paint! His have better/less porous "rubber" & SS metal innards & studs which won't rust -ever! Better than OE!
