I just started modifying my 2011 Tahoe. Let me know what you think.

I plastidipped the Grill and Emblems, Smoked the Tailights and added 17in wheels with Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/70/17. I also removed the front valence and side steps

Looks good. I think the side moldings need to go also.

I looked at the first pic and I told myself damn that looks familiar. I'm assuming you are in Metairie somewhere near Bonnabel.

Not a fan of removed side steps or front valance. I think these trucks need both, visually. The front looks too high without the valance, and the sides look unfinished without the steps. Also, your front and rear bumper covers now hang lower than the sides of the truck, adding to the look like something is missing on the sides. Finally, especially on a white truck with black wheels, the steps and valance add more black to the truck to balance the wheels, imo.

Sounds like you like the results, though, so that's all that matters. :)

you should possibly put a push bar on the front that would look good but so far i like it.
