OK. So this project has been being worked between busy times at my bodyshop. I'm finally down to the front bumper. I have a paint to match front bumper and a SS cover. The regular front bumper looks nice and clean but the SS cover looks good also. I think if I did the SS cover I would have to add flares to match the distance the cover sticks out on each side. Your opinions would be appreciated.

I like the second pic a lot more. Is there a way to cover up that gap though?

Yes. There is another piece that goes in that area with the gap. I just havent put it on yet.

I like the SS bumper the best. Looks like it cleans it up a bit

Both look clean, but the SS cover just gives a meaner look I think. I'd go with the SS if it were mine.

Why such a Gap? I don't remember that when I did my Escy conversion.
What are your plans...Are you gonna drop her and put bigger rims? I'd say if you doing that...Roll em first them FF em!

There is a gap because the side filler is not installed yet and the bumper is not totally adjusted.

I do go offroad a bit since I mountain bike so I dont want it any lower. That is why it has Toyo All Terians on it. 20's are pleny for me. I am still looking into the fender flare option since the tires stick out so damn much in the front.

Something has to go underneath the SS to hold it up. Where are you at? If you are close I can sure get you a deal on one. I own a body shop in Oregon and have no problem hooking forum members up who are close.

SS cover with fender flares! Your front end is awesome...if I had a black Tahoe/Yukon, I think I would go the same exact route. It really stands out!

Do you already have ground effects on it? If so, did you just go oem? I have basically the same ride, but with running boards and they kill the stance of the hoe.

Yah, the ground effects are on it minus the ones behind the rear wheels. I went with some used ones off a 2000 Limited. $100 used compared to the $400 per piece from Chevy. Crazy. I dont have the rear ones yet though. The truck I got them off was sitting on its rear bumper and the rear ground effects were crushed. I will probably just get some from Street Scene.

Running boards don't kill mine. Post a pic.

The 2nd picture is great but is it proportional with the Rear End? I would say if you did a rear denali or escalade bumper, have a dressing come down the side with the skirt and along the sides it would look great.

It has Limited ground effects on it and a Denali rear bumper cover.
