From another thread.
You are looking for the one that I have. It looks just like a 00-06 Tahoe Z71 valance, but its black instead of gray. I lucked out and found it brand new on Ebay. I also got the Z71 factory foglights to go in it, along with a 6000k HID kit.

They do not make the other style air dam in black, only gray. If you like the non z71 style..

1.Paint it
2. Plasti-Dip it
3. Or QUESTIONABLY.. Lightly torch it lol

I think I'll survive with the gray and replace the clips if they ever show up. Whoever had it before me broke pretty much every one.

I had both top and bottom pieces of the bumper color matched as well as my fender flares, they are holding up great, you're not going to see huge chunks chipped off well at least I dont, I live in CA, if you drive on non paved roads then it's a possibility. I just recently sprayed the chrome pieces on both front and rear bumper with plasti dip so while I was taping stuff off I got a good view and it all looks fine.

Well I decided to go with the LTZ piece that I read already comes black in color and the truck should be back from the body shop soon. Now my question is where are you guys finding the new circle fog lights and brackets at? Anyone got a part number? I look on ebay and all the pictures appear to be of just the lights no brackets.

Very Nice! No reason why GM should have made any of them grey, even the molding on Z71 hoes looks better in black
