Default Factory valance or Tahoe Z-71 valance

I am going to get the factory valance smoothed and painted or get a tahoe z-71 valance smoothed and painted. Which one do you think would look better on my Z71. I know I will have to get the tahoe fog lights. Do the tahoe z71 fog lights shine better than the regular ones?

I want to do the same thing...get a z71 tahoe bumper but keep my air dam or get a street scene dam. Not sure if they have them in my color though. Quick question, will the front bumper of an Express van fit on our trucks?

Should to my knowledge they have the same frames. If I were you I would get the factory airdam painted I think thats what Im going to do or I may be getting a good deal on a used ss bumper. What color is your truck? Fogle04 can hook you up with anything you need painting especially if you buy it from him he can paint it then ship it to you I bought my esc handles tailgate handle and bezel tahoe bumper cap painted grill shell all paint matched for my truck. I will be getting him to paint the bumper pads on the rear lower valance whatever I get the mirrors and the wiper cowl.

my front bumper got jacked up a bit so im lookin to replace it. and the air dam got caught on a parking curb and just dosent look right anymore. My truck is dark grey, i believe its called "storm grey". I had a friend of mine paint my grille shell on his lunch break at macco and it turned out pretty good. I would love to just get an SS bumper cover but since my factory bumper is banged in on the drivers side i dont think it will go on right. Im also lookin for a painted rear bumper to go along with it, but $$$ has been pretty tight lately.

The PIAA air dam looks like the Z71 one but will house much larger fog lights. I have one and really like it. Not real expensive for the air damn like you might think of from Piaa, I think around $200. I have a pic if you want.
