While searching for a Tahoe for myself, I came across a 2005 Tahoe Limited by Regency Conversions. See other thread here. It started life as a Tahoe LT and then underwent the Regency treatment. Anyway, here is how I got it. It was a theft recovery sold at the Dallas Auto Pound.

MODS: I added clear corner lights to the front and bought a Street Scene Silverado SS front bumper cover.
COMING SOON: I have 22" black Silverado SS wheels coming this week, and plan to lower it down to a respectable ride height while retaining the capabilities to pull a trailer. The truck came with the full trailer package, but Regency removed the hitch. I plan to get one later today.
The screens were stolen from the headrests and the rear amp was removed. The truck came with one spare key and no real keys or remotes. I fixed that and the local Chevy dealer got me hooked up with two keys and two remotes for $35. heh

I have always heard that you cant upgrade a factory Bose stereo unless you rewire the whole truck with a new head unit and speakers. Guess I was wrong. This truck has all been rewired at Regency and has amps and other stuff spliced into the factory harness.

The front door speakers were working when I got it and it took some digging to trace the problem, but finally got em working with an inline amp to them.

This is to hook up an iPod to the factory head unit.

So Im really torn on what to do. I LOVE the SS front bumper cover. BUT now that I have the truck and see how low the ground effects are, I am wondering if it would be better to use the Regency bumper. Here is my test fit and you can see what I mean.

Everything looks sweet. Now look at how low the ground effects are compared to the front cover....

Nice looking ride. If you really want to use the SS bumper you might be able to put a chin spoiler on it so it matches the body kit.
