Thank you everyone!
It's good to see a few familiar members on here (NathanJax, Yates, and Regency).

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the tail lights. I have never liked them. The red inside the housing kills the look to me. They kind of remind me of the altezza or euro lights popular in the late 90s, early 2000s.
I can't simply smoke them either because then they will look brown.

Always wondered about those rims but looking at them on your truck has me sold. Good job!

Nice job. Though the "Blacked Out" look is all too common for my taste, it looks best when it's all or nothing. With the full debadge and vinyl wrapping the factory chrome fog light surrounds you covered all the bases. Looks good.

For the V-Leds Micro LED in your lows and highs, did you go with 5K or 6K?

Thanks everyone.
CMoore I was very particular in making sure that all the chrome was removed from the body of the car. I too see "partial black outs" all the time.
I went with the 5k lights for the low and high beams.
The fog light LEDs came from another seller so they are 6k. They look very similar in color temperature though.

Now you gotta do the buttons on the handles and the tail lights. You can get black rotors and calipers also..

Funn you mention that because I was going to put some vinyl over the little chrome buttons on the handles, but changed my mind because I do not see it lasting very long. Unfortunately, that chrome will probably end up staying. The buttons are so small that it dies not bug me much.
I will be getting either a custom dark blue, or black, Wilwood big brake kit in the front only sometime before summer.

I see you are still here too 07Burb! Maybe my memory is bad but I do not remember you being a moderator back in 2012?
I am all about the blacked out look as you can recall! Here is my most recent SS before I sold it and got the Yukon. It has a familiar theme lol.

Lol I am guessing all the old admins are gone. I remember JKMotorsports and Shaggy being admins back then.
I wonder if Boostaholic is still on here. He had one of my favorite NBS SUVs.

The speedometer is off due to the tire being 1" greater in overall diameter than my OEM setup was. It does not make too big of a difference though.

Shaggy still owns the joint. JKMotorsports stepped down a long time ago due to lack of time but still drops in about once a year or so. I think I first became a moderator back in 2012. maybe right around the same time you took a hiatus or maybe slightly before. I don't remember lol

Hello guys,

I'm not sure who and who is not still on here from when I was active on this forum because I have been off of here for 5 years for a few reasons.
Anyways, I sold my extensively customized 07 Tahoe years ago and now have a loaded 2017 Yukon SLT to replace it.
It started off stock new, but after a year I have it in almost final form.
I may do something with the tail lamps and the brakes though.

Mods so far:
- Suntek CIR 5% tint all around, CIR 50 on the windshield.
- All chrome trim wrapped in gloss black 3M vinyl.
- Fully debadged
- WeatherTech mats (3 rows)
- Belltech 1019 kit with spacers left in.
- Magnaflow Exhaust
- T-Rex replacement grille in gloss black.
- V-Leds Micro LED low and high beams
- LED; fog lights, Reverse lights, and LP lights
- ****** Max 360 hardwired
- JL Audio Slash 600/v3 paired to 2 Audison APS 10D shallow subwoofers in a custom seaked enclosure behind the 3rd row seat.
- 26" Giovanna Bogota wheels in gloss black with Lexani all season rubber.

On to the pics. I through in a pic of my S5 Sportback as it's my other baby!

The LEDs fogs are an almost match to the LED headlights. They have about a 6k temperature hue, compared to the 5k of the headlights.
