I’m not a big fan of chrome, and the LTZ seems to be littered with it, lots may think I’m crazy, but I’d like to see two colors on my truck, white and black. Have others done blackouts on a white rig? I’d love to hear your experiences!

I agree chrome can get annoying sometimes. All black is my choice, done it on several vehicles in the past. I've never had a white vehicle but if I did, I would do white/black too and delete chrome.

I like it. What did you paint the molding with? Did you also paint the "TAHOE" letters?

How did you do your grille?

Are those taillights the smoked Vland ones? Also, is your 3rd brake light lens tinted?

I have the non tinted ones and thinking of changing them to the tinted ones. Do the brakes lights show through the tint OK in the daylight?

Do you have any pics of them in the daylight with them off? Curious how dark the tint is and how much the chrome shows through
