good idea!! I have a pick-a-part near me but they only have older stuff so I've been keeping my eye on Craigslist just to see if I get lucky. If not, the ones I like on eBay are only $100 so I may get those first and keep my eye out for a smokin deal for esky tails too :)

Be really really careful trying to put aftermarket grilles on a hybrid.
The openings are a different size than those of regular tahoes and only a couple of places make them. PM me if you want more details but basically your choices are limited on this front.

lol thanks ... grillecraft (which is what mine are) are the only ones to my knowledge that make quality black grille inserts for hybrids. I believe the part number is: CHE-1512B

I couldn't find the little lower grille black fog light inserts but I'm sure they must make them in black.

i know his looks fantastic for what hes doing, but i dont like chrome. The other problem is that, like soulsea pointed out, i have a limited choice for grilles :(

are you talking about something like this KMeloney

Yes, BUT, the Esky ones are much narrower, and are "shaped" (as opposed to being a big rectangular slab). Check THIS Esky out:

That esky is sweet, those look alot better than my mock up lol, I wouldn't mind getting those and color matching them to mine. Do you know if they make those in summit white?

*also do you know what size drop that is?

The stance of the Esky is killer but I'm with you about the black accents. Not feeling it really... :shrug:

From that rendering it's also got some kind of "spoiler" or "scoop" at the front of the roof! Sexy, sexy!!! :laughing1:

Yeah, I know that the black accents on that Esky aren't for everyone, and obviously goes against the "bling" factor that those pieces were intended for (in their original trim), but, man, the overall look is wild. Looks like a rolling Stormtrooper.

Not sure what drop is on that, but I'd bet it's near a 3/5, and those are probably 26"s on there.

I love what your doing with your Hybrid man. I def wouldnt recommend doing the side door mouldings black. It looks kinda silly. Color matched looks better IMO. Although that Esky sure was sick:shocked: Def do a drop. Ive seen a hybrid on 26s with a 2/4 and it looked great. Just type in google Slammed Tahoe and check out the image. Its a black one. You have me wanting to put my wheels on and get lowered so bad. I wish I went with 26s, but I couldnt refuse the deal I got on these 3 piece 24s :mexsmoke: Keep up the good modding man!

It's very nice ... rims are too big for my liking so I'm happy I did't go above 24.
Plus that truck hits a pebble and you'll be feeling it in your sinuses. :)

What's with the pinstripe though? :supergay:
