So I am going to be painting the front bumper of my Tahoe to black and got to thinking about my running boards. What do you think about Rhino-Lining/Linex ing the assist steps? Would that look okay?

What do you think?

paint them both. If you had mud tires the rhino lining would be cool but with it lowered on 24s id keep it smooth and shinny. But that is just my 2 cents. Something different never hurts

SW CT,
Do it!! If I ever find a set of those steps, but from a Z71 Burban they will be going black..maybe paint, but probably Line-X.

I say do it. I have never liked those front bumpers. Plus, it does not match your theme.

If that's the truck in your sig, I say it would flow nicely,do it!!

Essentially <--- it's already a hair away from being a tahoe "z71 replica." I don't mean to offend you, but your reverse engineering the truck minus the flares which are still on. Badges removed, side moldings removed, etc etc. I truly understand the theme and If that completes the look to you, that YOU are trying to achieve, I say go for it. Doesn't matter what people say anyway. Plus I dig the BoB action.

Original intention when I bought the truck was to leave it bone stock, just like my white 07 Z71.

I then stumbled upon this forum and all you bastages are making me mod crazy!!!:shocked:

Had I known then what I am doing now I would have just saved $1500 and bought an LT.

Our body shop has been fairly busy so I haven't been able to get my truck in there but I am hoping to do it soon and I think for now I will just paint the running boards since I can always Line-X over the paint.
