What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[tooeasy]

Did you notice better gas mileage?

From being lowered?

Previous best on a similar (mostly freeway) trip was 16.8 mpg.
That was before adding the air dam extension, but I would think the lowering (3/5") would be responsible for most of the improvement.

Just got home. Got the hood for $160, apparently the guy bought it to do a front end swap on a Silverado, but that ended up falling through. We threw it in the back with the seats folded down, then a little after getting back on the road, we stopped to get gas and my dad suggested we throw it on, so, of course, we did. There are a few fitment issues but on the whole it looks pretty great, and it rode home fine. Gonna go with my granddad tomorrow to talk to his paint guys and see how much they want to match it. For an 8 hour round trip and some quality time with my old man I'd say it was definitely worth it.

Man what a score on that HD hood!! Already looks great.

On a better note, that quality time with your dad is irreplaceable.

Ditto what Fosscore said!
I'll bet your Dad had had a great day as well. Cherish those times, they don't come often enough!

That's what I've heard, just wanted to see if it's true.

On mine, the gaps are a little wider between the fender and hood, but not bad and not really noticeable.

I'm pretty sure it's aftermarket, but it's only minor gaps, and unless you're looking for a problem you won't see it. And thank all of y'all! I'm super pumped about this.
