Default "SS" Tahoe conversion almost complete

Well guys the long road of converting my truck to an SS is almost complete.

Current list of mods:

Complete color change from pewter to black.
Color matched grille and rear bumper
15% tint up front
265/50r20 nitto nt420s
20" chrome silverado SS wheels
SS bumper cover (ducts painted with Orion Silver from House of Kolor)
NorcalSS's 3/5.5 drop(soon to be a 5/5+)
Alpine HU with Bluetooth functionality
Fosgate components
3 10" woofers with a JL Audio class D amp
Full debadge (waiting for the "SS" emblems to come in)
Roof rack delete
Spectre CAI
Blackbear tune (by far the best investment yet)
E-Fans with a BB harness
Borla XR-1 muffler (waiting to get installed)

Helper bags are going in in 2 weeks.
Led tails and depo projectors are on order as well...along with 03+ silverado fogs for the ducts.
On the fence about installing the Denali DIC I have...
Blown 6liter is on plan for winter as well

I think that's it. If I forgot anything I'll add it later.


For the record here's what it was the day I bought it



After I spent 8 hours claying an polishing



After I spent another 30 mins cleaning the bottom of the seat... :/ (the back wasn't touched at that point)


And this is it now....




.




Thanks for looking

-Jay

Looks great! Add the Caddy rear pillars to smooth it out IMO.

Thanks guys!!

Nightmare..your truck was one of the insperations believe or not. Thanks for the compliment!

I'm looking into cladding...gonna be a biiottch to make the rear doors and the quarters fit...gonna need two sets just to make everything work out. I probably wont end up doing it just because the amount of work thats gotta go into making it look right..plus with the way I go through cars I wouldnt have time to get it done haha. i average 1.5 years on a vehicle then I get board...

Esky vent caps are on order. Def a must have!

Another option on the cladding is same body style Denali cladding with the running boards..
Ive seen it on that body style tahoe and it looks very nice!
