That looks MUCH better. I also like the idea of removing the red GMC emblem. Since you are removing all the red, have you considered tinting the 3rd brake light? Good looking Tahoe...keep it clean!!

There's an LED 3rd Brake light out there somewhere. I've seen them in clear and in black. They look sharp, but I haven't seen them mounted yet.
Your taillights look much better.

Well unless you want to buy a tinted 3rd light. The stocker is very much a LED unit. I've tinted my 3rd lite on my Yukon XL, and it looks great, although i have to re-do my other taillights (just a little too dark) the 3rd stop lamp with a nice black tint is just awesome considing the amount of black trim the SUV's have in the back.

I have tinted the taillights in my dodge w/that tint from hobby lobby. I would like to give you some advice don't use the armorall power gel on them I think that is what messed my tint up because they were ok till I used that.
