What's up everyone, Carmine here for the big NY.

I have a 2011 Tahoe LTZ and I am looking to make her nice and pretty. I have a few questions::cheers:

1. I am looking to add a body kit. Right now most likely looking for the fenders, back bumper and possibly a hood with the hood scoops already manufactured on the hood.

2. Body kits, am I able to get them in the color of my Tahoe? I asked a few places in my area if they would paint but they told me it would cost a few G's.

3. I removed all the badges on my Tahoe, except the rear and of course the one on the grille. Do they make a grille that does not have the Chevy logo? And for the rear, is it bolted on or is it also two sided tape like the others were?

Thanks for reading, thanks for your time and thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback.

Have a great weekend yall!! :cheers:

2. I think your going to have to have it painted to your color.
3. They make a grille without a chevy emblem. A couple of the guys here have them. The rear emblem is double sided tape. It comes off with some heat like a hair dryer and then using your fingers to get it off. Atleast that's what I did. http://www.alligatorperformance.com...hevrolet-tahoe-suburban-avalanche-p-8794.html

I guess it's a matter of taste but I haven't seen a kit that doesn't look hideous for the tahoe/yukon. I wouldn't. Take the money and put into some badass wheels/suspension and then go the OEM route with tasteful changes. Just my thoughts but kits are kinda lame nowadays and they cost a ton of money with the paint and install.

Can I get some clarrification on this? I thought the rear bow tie emblem just above the liscense plate was attached some way other than two sided tape. Seems I recall someone asking how to cover up two little holes after they removed their rear bow tie.

the holes are for the aliginment pins. Only held on by the 2 sided adhesive.

That blows, as much as I like the cleanliness of a debadged vehicle, I believe the two holes would be more of an eyesore than just leaving the emblem stuck on - thanks for the clarrification.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I realized some of the costs associated with the painting and kits and said **** it lol.

I was able to remove the Gold Chevy badge located on the rear. I am looking to buy a chrome one to match the chrome handles on both sides of the ride. I think it would look real clean with the chrome.

Am I right with saying the grille of the 11' Tahoe is connected to the badge? I want to get a new chrome grille without the bade or the stock grille with a Chrome badge. Any ideas?
