What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[tooeasy]

Did you notice better gas mileage?

From being lowered?

Previous best on a similar (mostly freeway) trip was 16.8 mpg.
That was before adding the air dam extension, but I would think the lowering (3/5") would be responsible for most of the improvement.

Just got home. Got the hood for $160, apparently the guy bought it to do a front end swap on a Silverado, but that ended up falling through. We threw it in the back with the seats folded down, then a little after getting back on the road, we stopped to get gas and my dad suggested we throw it on, so, of course, we did. There are a few fitment issues but on the whole it looks pretty great, and it rode home fine. Gonna go with my granddad tomorrow to talk to his paint guys and see how much they want to match it. For an 8 hour round trip and some quality time with my old man I'd say it was definitely worth it.

Man what a score on that HD hood!! Already looks great.

On a better note, that quality time with your dad is irreplaceable.

Ditto what Fosscore said!
I'll bet your Dad had had a great day as well. Cherish those times, they don't come often enough!

That's what I've heard, just wanted to see if it's true.

On mine, the gaps are a little wider between the fender and hood, but not bad and not really noticeable.

I'm pretty sure it's aftermarket, but it's only minor gaps, and unless you're looking for a problem you won't see it. And thank all of y'all! I'm super pumped about this.

I'm really sorry to hear that Pete.

I'm sure they can be tweaked a little bit, but I'm just gonna leave it as is. Gaps aren't terrible, just a tax wider then before. The average eye wouldn't even notice it.

This seems to be standard on the HD hood to Tahoe swap. Some fit absolutely perfect and some fit with a bit of a gap or a bit wonky at the grille or near the hinge. But you have to look at all the parts for total fitment.

I was kind of bugged off by the gaps, but only I would ever notice and you knuckleheads on this far away OCD galaxy removed from the average person who barely washes their vehicle, let alone worries about a body part gap. lol

I took mine to the body shop just to see. The fender to door gap is perfect. The front of the HD hood to the grille is perfect. The fender to HD hood at the hinges is perfect. The fender to HD hood is a bit wider than OEM, but more than tolerable given that mean ass look. He said we could push in the fender, maybe even epoxy and ream out the existing holes, but then it could cause other issues....etc....

So it stays as it is and looks great. Just my .02.

I finally got my Belltech front jounce stops installed. They like about 1/4 inch from touching metal. Where did you notice the most improvement after you installed new jounce stops factory or any other brand?

Got my tire fixed at my buddy's shop today for free since I bought my tires from him.
