All goods man, we all have different tastes, and things we don't like about each others rides.
Personally don't like the look without running boards tho, cause I hate seeing the frame, especially since Tahoe is white. Stock black running boards do look good, but at same time it looks alittle unfinished to me. Like was a last minute decision to throw on running boards, but you haven't completed the look. IDK, all subjective, and what goes with one style doesn't with the next. decisions, decisions

I'm still not 100% on all white boards yet. But someone had to see what it would look like, and I like trying different things. May not always work, but won't know until you try. And whether you like it, hate it, not sure, atleast get an idea of the look. I think once I get my SS front bumper installed it should help me figure out how it all goes together or what may or may not work. For now, it is what it is.:893MrT-thumb:

did you PM me back? didn't see anything. idk, my box might be full.

Travieso, I hope you don't mind if I post up some pics of your ride. But only lowered, white Tahoe I can find with HD hood. And I don't have any pics of mine without white running boards and HD hood.
But wanted to post up pics of white Tahoe with stock black boards. And a pic from a thread you had regarding color matching, where someone Photoshop'd white w/black pad running boards. All for comparison sake

Travieso's ride Photoshop white w/black pad running boards. Sucks cause they stand out so much being PS'd
