Lol u already know my opinion but let me mention this, why i chose not to go with any 15+ style taillights is becuz on the nnbs the turn signals on the mirrors are red and on all the 15+ they are amber so the 15+ taillight turn signals are also amber to match the mirrors.

Thx @kwOH
Perfect info to make that decision much easier.

One more NNBS and K2xx to share and then this enquiry is done in the NBS thread. Carry on fellas and thx your input today.

G4 has my vote

Thx guys. Appreciate the feedback.

The wife prefers the nnbs, but man I always prefer to get the last of a generation rather than the first. Not to mention... I do love the NBS.

I don't like "woodgrain" interior though. What cha gonna do.

Man, 20's and a 2/3 drop is ideal for me and this thing is already 20's and a 1/2 from the factory as far as I can tell.


Anyone know any more details about the platinum edition? OEM HID's I think.

NBS Esky would be a big win. Good luck. Definitely a sweet ride especially if its in good shape. Saw one today that was beat to hell. Made me sad. :(

Since this is my go to thread for my Tahoe and I always get good feedback I wanted to get your input about LED tail lights for my NNBS Suburban. I know it's the NBS section. :)

Go with the G4s or the new 2015+ plus U-pattern? A member just posted the new ones on his NNBS which got me thinking. I thought about the G5s too, but that would involve getting the Esky appliques to line up with the crease of the G5 tails. Thx guys.

New ones are about $75 more than the G4s.

The used market is pretty sad atm. So many beat to hell. I'd be fine with a burb or kon xl but everyone is asking too much because they have ****** 24's or something.

If only more of them were taken care of like yours!

Is it CCA or 100% copper? I spent about $20 on 10' of 1/0 100% copper welding cable (all black and used red cable lug covers on the hot sides) ~$10 on tubular cable lugs. ~$10 Marine grade dual walled adhesive shrink and ~$10 split loom. I also dropped ~$40 on a hydraulic crimper which is awesome. Makes the job so easy!
I got this one:

HF has the same thing:

I don't see a fuse in the kit? Are you planning to run one?

I did a big three when I replaced my alternator, and swapped in a smaller pulley. If you've got some left over maybe do the big 4 or upgrade your starter wire. Started up quicker, and really helped with voltage drop on mine. Windows rolled up a bit faster too.

Honestly, I didn't NEED it since I ran a stock stereo and no aftermarket big draw electrical components, but I figured it was time to fix up the grounds since I could see lights dimming at times. It was less expensive than factory replacement cables, and a fun little project.

Also a complete waste of money since the damn thing got totalled out a month or so after that...
It looks like 100% copper. I have a return started with Amazon, going to look at knukoncepts for a solution. Nothing's ever easy is it?

U should have got Tinned OFC wire so it doesn't corrod under the hood and tinned copper lugs for same reason... I use to use CCA wire like that and it would corrod after about a year.
Got any place I should be looking for this? I don't want to spend a fortune but I want it done right if that's possible. Is knukoncepts a good place to look?
