dude... i love it. i wanna make my own custom sequential tails

That used to be something that I thought about trying to figure out, have the idea in my head where each vertical line lights up in the direction I am turning....

Problem is that I would have to open up the tails and learn how do a board for something like that, with resistors and everything lol.

I don't have the time or inclination to do something like that at this point.

yeah, exactly. i wish i could get my hands on all the different types of materials and U-Bars and etc to even make it happen. I havent seen one tail light that yet that is awesome enough for our body styles.
regardless, love what you did

Painted this last night, had an idea.

I really like the lines with the heavily flared fenders and wide stance...

I know how I can do it. I've just gotta figure out if my wheels will turn with them being that wide. Need to find someone to loan me some 2" spacers for a static test fit.

Good looking mock up. That sure would be fat and low. Get some slicks up under there!

I hate Trail Blazers. Even the SS.
Fortunately though, I like them.
I'd pick a srt8 gc over a tbss , but I've ridden in some beast tbss's before.
so would i... but I'm not going to be able to make this resemble the srt gc.

Merely a visualization of what I have in my head.

And I just finished with some clearance hammering and cutting to make more room in the wheel wells.

Took the Tahoe out for a drive to make sure I wasn't rubbing on anything and that it was clear (it worked out great btw) and I stopped in to Autozone to pick up an air freshener for the Tahoe and some grease. Might as well get out and admire the ride height, I guess. Plus, I get to see if backing up grinds anywhere....

Anywho, come out after being in the store for about 10 minutes to this... And dude took off so I have no clue who did it. No cameras.

Now I get to talk to someone about the cost to fix the grille, fender, and bumper (starting to crack and come off from the impact)

Though it's going to drive me nuts that the paint will be good on one fender and shit on the rest of the vehicle. lol...

Might do some fiberglass "caps" on each side of the bumper, then paint the center section black, but that may just be too much at this point.

Might end up pulling the trigger on a widebody fender sooner than I thought...

Had to be on the drivers side too so you have to see it everytime you get in it :( .
Was hoping the grille was ok. The lights ok?

People aren't clueless- they know when they hit someones car in a parking lot but they can get away with just driving away. They're just as*holes. Sorry they got you my friend, that truly sucks. Someone just recently tagged my daughter's new Cruze and left the scene right after she got it out of the bodyshop after she hit someone. Fortunately no body damage and the paint might buff out. I don't think yours will buff out though.
