I've got a carbon metallic '04 silverado. the lower bumper valance is gray (see sig), and it looks, well, ghey....I like the look of the '06 valance, being black and I want to swap 'em out. Does anyone know of any reason why it wouldn't work? They look exactly the same to me. Also, I'm considering adding the airdam that is below the bumper on some of the '06 trucks. I plan on dropping the truck 2/4 - does anyone think that will get scraped to hell or not? Thanks for the input.

 

I have also been thinking about doing this. I think it would look tight and I also think all the stuff should just swap over. I don't know for sure though.

 

I've been wanting to do this also, If I can't have color match, I at least want it black.

I've located the owner of an '06 that is interested in getting a bumper cover, if that happens I'm swapping with him.

 

I think it should, but why don't you color match the upper and lower covers tho?

I did on mine and it looks very good.

 

I plan to match the upper cover, but I want the durability of the plastic lower, and the black is badass (at least compared to the grey)

 

It will fit. I just bought one for my buddy's truck for his birthday...although his truck is a 2005, same bumper. List price is $95, I got it for $63

 

color match is the way to go and with that drop it wont scrape, dont worry about it.

 

Nice truck, kerryt1. It looks very similar to mine. You need to remove those door moldings. Anyways, the '06 valance will bolt on with no problems. I thought about doing this until I found a spray paint designed for plastic. It's called Krylon Fusion. I painted my stock grey valance with it about 4 months ago and it still looks good! It looks like the black front bumper cap. No chipping, no runs, no flaking, no discoloring, etc. No prep work is necessary, just a good wash before paint. Something you might want to consider...

 

Thanks LM7. The door mouldings and badges are coming off, I just haven't got around to it yet. I think I'm going to install GMC mouldings, I dunno.

Colby - do you have a part number for that? If so, I need the one with both fog light and tow hook cutouts.

 

hmmm....I'm sure I do somewhere. Let me see if I can come up with the reciept since I don't have the valance....
