Hey how bad was it to paint the side mouldings? Did you remove them and then just used double-sided paint? Or how did you do it. A buddy of mine is in the market for a new tahoe, and he sometimes looks away at a good deal because its a LS with black mouldings and doesnt want to go through the hassle of painting the handles, and the mouldings and the bumper cap etc.

I hope Boomer doesnt mind me using his pic, but can someone tell me if the circled valance can be bought somewhere? I have tow hooks, will it stiill work with hooks?


I found this one on ebay, but it says cant be used with the hooks. I dont see why not when this sits below the tow hooks. Is this it?

If im not mistaken, the one you saw on ebay looks like the one for older tahoes. Like a 99. It looks like the one i had on my tahoe beforeImageUploadedByTapatalk1359148775.140042.jpg

i bought mine off of lmc trucks its pretty cheap you'll have to drill holes in your lower valance to mount it though i believe it was made for the o5-06 models. and btw it's a separate piece from the fog light valance that your tow hooks go through also

Holy smokes I can't believe this post is still getting comments. Haven't been on TYF in months. Will try to answer some questions in a bit.
