Hey people!
I recently acquired the car I have been wanting for a very long time.
I have always had rear wheel high hp cars but it never made sense because of where I live, I could never drive them in the snow and rarely in the rain due to tire set up and various other reasons.
This year I got rid of my 99 Z28 that I built over 7 years and got a nitrous Hayabusa and then sold that to get another 99 Z28 with a 600hp 427 Stroker... I really wasn't happy with any of those so I said screw it and finally got what I really wanted and needed which is an 03 Denali.
So far I lowered it on the Eibach pro truck springs/keys, Bilstein shocks, tinted windows, smoked tail lights, 22" Dub Ballers w/ 305/40R22 Falken tires, fixed the gauge cluster with new lights/steppers and installed a double din kenwood stereo. I still cant believe how good these stock Bose speakers sound.

Not sure how far I will take it performance wise because I don't want to overdo it and make it less enjoyable to drive.

Anyways your forum has helped out so far and I look forward to learning a lot more around here.

Here is what I started out with this year and finally what I ended up with. :)

Very nice! That Denali definitely is better suited for the weather out here in CO.

Denali looks great. Escalade 3rd brake, and some painted vent caps and you're in business! Reminds me of my 03

Welcome....nice looking Denali! Keep up the mods.......

Love those Camaros....my buddy has a black 02 6 speed with t-tops and only 20K on it-they are fun to drive ;)

Performance wise-look into a Blackbear tune(vendor on here) and get a Corsa Sport catback-you will love it!!

Need some parts

Well on new years eve a woman got hit in an intersection by a van that ran a red light, she spun into the left front of my Denali while I was just waiting for her to cross so I could turn left.
I am still waiting on payment from the insurance company but I wanted to know if you guys may have any leads on a front bumper support, bumper, LF fender, LF mirror that are preferably already painted pewter?

I really appreciate any help!
