Looks great. Love the color. You will enjoy it!

$600 for the headlights seems like a great deal. I just finished my retro last week, putting them in tomorrow. I went with the Eagle eyes like Felix suggested and I am in for a little over $400 with all the parts. They were a pain to do so the extra $200 would be worth it imo.

For the tint I did 20% all throughout. My old Tahoe had 5% on the back and was too hard to see out of at night. I've never had any issues for it over the last 16 years but my wife got pulled over by highway patrol in our Jeep last month for 20% on the fronts. Had to remove it and will go 35% on the next round since she is nervous about it now.

Go with who you trust. I've seen too many bad tint jobs with bubbles or fading.

I looked up those Esky premium tails and I think I'm sold on those as well. They look great with the black and the color isn't far off from the stock Denail's.

Did you de-badge the tailgate or was it already done?


Thanks! There's just something about black and chrome!

I will be waiting till around April to have the headlights done so I xane recoup some cash and that is a good time for my retrofitted! Unless I find a better deal...I hate these factory headlights.

I'm going to try and sucker my tint guy to order some 15%, but I'm gonna wait till spring when it warms up. The tint doesn't like the cold.

Yeah I was sold on those taillights because the color. I didn't want clear and I didn't want red. I wanted the same color as the factory but with leds.

It was debadged when I bought it, I will probably leave everything else at least until I graduate college. I got nailed in the parking lot with my 05 and Id rather have the molding to protect me for now.

Thanks for the compliments man I'm totally loving the denali!

I agree ;)

Sounds like alot of big plans for the Nali'...should look good. Are you gonna do the modded Esky third brake light?

I'm actually in the process of buying the esky appliqués, G5 platinum smoke tails, and platinum third brake light from a member on here now.

Always loved your denali btw. Mine is like a nnbs version! I like to call the look "optimized factory." Clean and mostly oem!

Factory is made a way for a reason. If I can retain ride and all that jazz and improve looks I will. But I love this truck in stock form. That's why I call it optimized stock lol

The member decided to keep his g5's but im getting an Esky third smoked lense and painted black housing and a pair of headphones and DVD remote I need for $230 shipped not bad. Really wanna do the full LED mod, then get some tint and do a retrofit. Just trying to clean it up a bit and improve on features it doesn't have.

On a side note, anyone have pics of g4's? Not a huge fan of the sharp Esky appliques.

CONGRATULATIONS Jonah, this is a very sweet looking ride!!!!!!!

Sorry, just got around to venture into the NNBS section of the forum as I am mostly (well, always) on the NBS section.

Good luck with the new ride and Happy moding.

What did you do with your NBS Truck?

Thanks buddy! Nice to see you venture over to the nnbs forum, its a whole nother world!

Well long story short I traded it in for a nicely loaded G6 because I was driving a lot, then I hated not having 4WD and not really being able to mod it so I traded that in for an 03 Duramax 4x4. It was fun, but it was a money pit, and the diesel world is one word: Pricey. It's unreal. It needed some work and I threw it up on the ole CL and someone offered me enough to let her go! The rest is history!

I thought you kept your carbon grey metallic truck :( :( :( :(
