i think that tahoe is the ***** on anything ive seen on here. But i mean he changed it up and it isnt just white and black like every other tahoe in the world.

I agree that its nice he wanted to do something different but it hardly ***** on everything here. Different doesn't mean that it is better then everything else.

The wheels are ok but would look better if not all red, the door handles look retarded, and the grill actually looks pretty good.

So I'm about to pull the trigger on this grill and I had the company send me the directions. My only hesitation is that the bottom of the grille attaches with double stick tape. Check out the last page of the directions. This seems a little hokey to me and im worried that the edges wont be flush Thoughts?

Figure 10 says you have to cut the bumper. Once you do that there is no going back. Additionally, I discovered last weekend that you have to remove the bumper cover just to replace burned out light bulbs. Send like a PITA to me. Hopefully this grill doesn't interfere with that. Just a little to think about.

I have a similar grille by T-Rex installed which required cutting the cross bar with the bow tie on the bumper. As far removal of the bumper at a later time, removing the top factory bolts from the radiator support should allow the whole grilled to come off with the bumper just as the stock one does. However, on mine the botton of the grille is bolted in as well, whereas here, the bottom is secured with double sided tape. Worst case scenario, you have to apple some new tape when reinstalling the bumper.

SW CT,
It looks like the one in the instructions is different than the one I posted pics of...I do not see the huge bulge. The one I posted definetly did not call for cutting the center bar. I think the others look way better being flusher.
