Nice! I see those IATs now without the turbo on yet lol. I think im just gonna modify the stock lower to look like the HD one. Its pretty much flat so it should be easy to cut.

i tried that but it doesn't have the clean look of the hd. maybe you can do better than i did, but i didn't like the way it looked. so i took the easy $50 route. lmao

Great looking Tahoe. Looks very clean.
Is that the original paint?

Looks great. May i suggest paitning ypur fctory valance so it doesnt stick out so bad? Duplicolor makes a bumper plastic satin black that works great for this use

I may paint the gray black but that will be it. I think it looks horrible with it all paint matched. Too much color it doesn't break up the body. Then when it gets Rock chips it looks even worse.
