My 2008 Tahoe LTZ

Update on PROJECT ESKY BUMPER:

All 4 components of the nnbs denali/esky bumper is in. I got the rear bumper cover, hitch cover, step pad, and chrome strip in. Here are pics of the bumper and chrome strip. Rest will follow shortly. I wanted to show pics of the bumper before I got it freshly primed/re-painted back to NEW condition.

So when will the prime/paint/install happen??

About to drop off everything to get primed/painted in about 30 min... install will happen as soon as it is done being painted which will take at least till this weekend because I know my paint guy is busy and he is hooking me up so I have to be patient. On install day, I will also get my freshly painted summit white esky mirrors installed also. Stay tuned

That is going to look really clean! Is your paint guy also doing the install?

Yea you are right the bumper does look pretty damn good but it's not MINT/NEW condition. It's probably an 8 out of 10. There are a few knicks on it... just enough to say F it and repaint the whole damn thing. OCD? haha you should see the inside of my house... shit STAYS clean haha. I'd rather be OCD then have shit everywhere all the time and 'not care'... lol

Someone needs to walk in Felix's house with wet shoes! Hurry! Quick!

Yea for sure... anything paint, body work, performance-related stuff I go to him for... I sit there and help out, but mainly to watch and most importantly, absorb and LEARN something. He does body work/custom paint jobs all around town (known for crazy mixed colors... one being a new BMW M3 that is a custom burnt orange color that is SICK) on the side. For his 8-5 job, he does restoring/repairing/general work on old corvettes/muscle cars/etc. then at 5pm he goes to his uncle's shop and does some side work/works on projects. He owns 6 cars and constantly has crazy shit coming through his uncle's shop to paint/work on. Last time I went they had a color matched whited out nnbs tahoe like mine that took a big shit on mine... slammed/tucked with white 26's and color matched exterior/interior...

hmmm... i see your escalade bumper and raise you 6-piston/16" Wildwood brakes! :LOL:

Looks good brother...

I have been at my wife about doing some more escalade exterior conversion parts (brake lights specifically) and she just won't bite. She likes the chrome on the truck as-is and doesn't want to bling it out. Grr!!!

Looks like we're gonna throw a towel in once we get the escalade roof rack and rear Wilwood brakes. Sigh...
