Default Need input on next mod!

Ok I feel like its time to do something for the tahoe since I have been puttin all my money into my 240sx but I dont know what to do! So I need advice, should I leave the exterior alone or get a lip kit like the street scene front piece with stillen sides and rear caps. Or lower it some more? I have a goodmark cowl hood for it but the guy painting it is slack and messed it up and never redid it for me and I also already have the stillen rear vent caps but they are not painted either. This is a LS model tahoe that had all the black plastic trim pieces but over time I got rid of them and replaced with denali, escalade and LT trim pieces. Well thanks ahead of time for any input you may have!

This is what im workin with

Good lookin hoe...I like the seats. I would say no to the whole body kit thing and go with lowering it a bit. My thoughts...get rid of the running boards & luggage rack, paint to match lower front bumper piece & mirrors, get that cowl hood put on, you'll be killer!

yea I took the luggage rack off before and it made the spot between the two doors look weird for some reason so I stuck the escalade rack on but left the sliders in the middle out. And on the mirrors I was gonna paint the whole black part of the mirror but was told that the paint would not stick to good on that type of plastic cause it has an oily texture??? So I went to some dealerships that made there on SS model aveys and tahoes and the paint looked crappy on the mirrors even after it was sanded smooth first. And I need input on how to lowerer it anymore cause it has a 4/6 on it now and the springs in the rear are way short!

Get rid of the "24" emblem IMO....I hate those things. That mixed with the style of the rims is too "thug passion" for my taste. But if thats the look you are going for then keep the rims, just take off the "24". Escalade front end swap, Denali front end swap, or and SS front bumper would be a good place to start.

lol yea I need a digi camera cause these are all takin with my moto q. Yea the badges are going once I repaint the truck. I bought them because I got so tired of people asking what size rims I had. So I went out and bought those and I cant just throw them away cause I paid over 200 when they came out. They have the swarts...somethin crystals in them, I figured something flashy would make poeple look and see what size it said but NOPE, I still get asked what size my rims are. And as for the valance I think im pickin on up today cause the new stylin trucks mag had the one I wanted for 200!

Here's what i'd do, I'll try and be nice but it's all my opinion:
Ditch the wheels. I can't stand that style get some u55's
Ditch the running boards
Ditch the "wood grain"
Ditch the 24 emblems
Color match your lower air dam
Ditch those window deflectors
I think your front end looks great but I'd colormatch the bow tie
They're hard to find but if you can get a rollpan I'd do that

Your tahoe actually looks really good. You need to take or more than you need to add though.
