New tahoe owner

Awesome! I'm going to have to take the corners off to get the grill off I believe and I was wanting to take them off to tint them anyway so I'll probably have to wait until next week when I have some money for nightshade so I can do it all in one go. As far as tires I found black 17 X 8 Eagle alloys with new Yokohama Geolander A/T-S 265/70-R17 tires for $1000. Sounds like a good deal to me?

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your recent purchase. Sounds like you already have some good ideas for it. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Thanks, in the future I want to add some new black 17" rims and some tires around 265, flowmaster 40s, and a 4" lift (rancho) but in the meantime I'll be tinting the tails and corners, painting the grill, adding a billet, k&n filter, and debadging

Nice looking truck!

wow...clean looking OBS!

Finished some projects today! Got the grill painted black. Sanded it down with 600 grit, cleaned it with mineral spirits, water, dried it and did 4 coats of krylon fusion. I love the way it turned out! While it was taken down, I got a can of nightshade and tinted the corners and parking lights. Did about 3 coats. They look great but I completely forgot to clean the lenses before painting (ugh) and you can tell. Im still happy with them for the most part. Also added HID to my heads, replaced the brake pads, and changed the oil. That probably all for this week unless I get up the nerve to tint my tails but Im thinking it may be wiser (and more legal) to wait and buy some smoked tails.

looks good. how dark are your turn signals in the daylight? Is it to dark that you cant see them? I want to paint my lights just hoping its not to dark.

Damn dude that truck looks bad as hell!

new picture of the truck during the day after a wash and wax. Using the krylon fusion was a great idea, Im really happy with how the grill came out. The shaded lights still look good in the daylight and the light shines through really well. Also really happy about the way the bowtie turned out after applying nightshade.



Im pretty desperate for some new wheels and tires now. No clue how Im going to come up with the money but Im still shopping around. Also trying to find out how much its going to cost me to add a flowmaster 50 series big block exhaust. I know the kit is going to be around $350 but any idea how much its going to cost to have it installed?
