What was GM thinking?

My recent purchase of my 03 Av Z71 WBH, victory red, brought my attention to the front lower valance.  My front bumper is chrome with the black cap.  Why the hell did they put a grey plastic cladding type lower valance on this truck?  There is nothing else anywhere on this truck that remotely resembles this piece?  Why not atleast paint it the color of the truck.  Any one found victory red in duplicolor or other brand that I can correct this problem with?

Lot's of folks have painted theirs black or whatever color the truck is.

Or you can order a black one for around 60 bucks

I think red Krylon Fusion spray paint is a very close match.

Hence, the question asked regarding victory red duplicolor.

Color matching to the truck looks so much better, but thanks for the response

Any personal experience or just what you have heard?  I guess being that the valance isn't right next to the OEM paint you probably wouldn't notice the difference, huh?

Seen it in person on another members truck, looked like a match to me.

There you go.. Just make sure it's a plastic spray paint like the Krylon Fusion and you'll be good2go.

Any idea wether it was the sun dried tomato red or the res pepper that was used?
