Ok, here's my truck:



I've already put new fogs and '03 tails on. My question is : Should I go with the black tahoe z-71 grille w/ a gold bow-tie or a chrome tahoe grille w/ a black bowtie?

I'm going to remove the side moldings, put a Snugtop, Goodmark cowl hood, and powdercoat my rear bumper to match. I also have black SS handles to put on and I'm going to get my '03 tails and 3rd brake light smoked. A 2/4 Hotchkis TVS is also in the works.

What else should I do to the exterior? I will get some 20's later.

 

I would go with the black Tahoe Z71 grille with the gold bowtie. It will look perfect with your powdercoated front bumper. After that, just do the rest of the things you want to do and call it quits. I would not do anything else on the exterior. Keep it clean and simple!

 

Thanks

 

Since you already have your bumper painted black I would go with the Z71 tahoe grill with a chrome bow.

I would also prep and paint the rear bumper so it can match the front one almost like the SS rear bumper appearance. I would've recommended a roll pan but it seems like you tow?

 

Im all about color matching..obviously...id go w/ the Z71 Tahoe grille...since the bumper is black..the handles will be black..etc..it'll look damn good...you can still tow w/ a roll pan btw...my hidden hitch works just fine pulling a boat, a 16 foot car hauler and a 16 foot enclosed w/ a car in it. Now..slam it..throw on some sick black wheels w/ a fat polished lip and you'll have 1 sick truck...

 

Thanks. On the roll pan, they look awesome, but don't give any support. I've had a couple of incidents. 1st, I backed into a light pole, thankfully it was wood and I had a bumper. 2nd, I had an Expedition slam into me, he hit my hitch ball and it put a huge dent in his bumper and did nothing to mine. So, with that in mind, I have another rear bumper that's paintable, that I'll get powdercoated. I can't decide what rims I should get, it's between chrome SS and American Racing RTS in black.

 

definately get the black grille shell and black bumper. If you have the extra cash and time, get your bumpercover and valence painter to match too. That will pretty much finish up the front end. Its gonna look great once you get all that done!

 

the chrome grille would look very much out of place

 

I had that and didn't like it too much.


Don't get me wrong, It looked nice, but I like the Z-71 Tahoe look and besides I live down a dirt road. My bumper is all ready getting some rock chips.

 

looks great what about some clear signal lights, dont know if your into that kind of thing? where are you getting your hood from
