Default NBS Chevy FMIC Setup help

I want to do a FMIC setup on my truck but am having trouble finding a bumper/valence setup that would allow me to do this. My valence is the standard chevy valence on an 02' with tow hooks and fog lights. I can't find a valence for my chevy bumper that has a cut out in the center to allow airflow needed for the FMIC setup. Everything I am finding through searches is for a GMC or Denali bumper, which has numerous valences that will work.

Does anyone run a FMIC on a 99'-02', and if so could you please post pics? Thanks

Correct. Just do a search for "Tahoe valance" and some posts should come up. There has been quite a few pictures posted over the years.

Don't let the valance hold up your install. Even without the additional openings, the new FMIC location will be more efficient. It a pretty low-pressure area behind the bumper so it will get a good amount of airflow.

The truck in that picture is an 01, and he said it came stock on it. In 03 they had the newer style front end.

Your correct, idk why I put 03'. Regardless, it fits 99-02 front ends and that is the correct part #.
