i dont think you have to remove the front valence to get rid of the bumper sag.

I got a replacement one after the wreck involving an elderly lady running a red light and it wasn't textured.
My front bumper is held on by torx bolts.

You can either buy a new one from the dealer and paint it, or strip the paint/undercoating-like texture material off your current one and repaint it.

The factory valance comes w/o a textured coating--atleast mine did when I replaced it a few years ago. The coating is nice to put on under the paint, otherwise there will be chipping problems, atleast that has been my experience.
Plastic bumper hardware requires a t-55 torx socket (dick end)
