Can't identify - need help with ID

staracetiffy

I just purchased a real real clean 87 El Camino. The front bumper valence is not stock - has fog light openings. They are just below the headlights and are real wide. Maybe a 1973-77 valence, but I think the fog light openings are too wide for 73-77. Can anyone help me ID this valence/bumper. I'd like to fill the holes - - -

That's a pretty small picture. But, it looks like a stock 5th gen front spoiler to me. Got a bigger picture?

Welcome to ECC Ken.

As Ernie said, the picture is a little small but anyhow, I don't recognise any similarity to a 4th gen.

Yep - after looking at many pictures on this board, it seems like stock. Thanx for the replies.

But - any examples of anybody putting fog lights into these holes ???

I believe the intent of the openings is to vent air to the front brakes for cooling. Some sort of ducting would probably be necessary for this to be functional so putting lights in there may have little affect.
