Well I've moved on from the sports car phase with my 2010 Camaro and I've moved on to this fine ride I simply call "The Yukon" haha this is my 2008 Yukon Hybrid!

As for modifications, you can say that I'm a little obsessed with Plasti-dip. The first thing I did was to get rid of ALL the chrome and dip them matte black. That means grille and badges.

After a couple days, I thought it would look nice if I had the front GMC logo painted white so I popped out the logo and dipped it white.

And a couple days after I did that, I got this CRAZY idea...

As you can tell from above that I like plasti-dip haha
Well.. I decided that I didn't really care for that look so I peeled it off and I painted the white GMC black again so it has a murdered out grille.

My taillights are also black.. Pictures to come.
I do have plans to get the following:
Dual Flowmaster exhaust (I like a little rumble)
Interior Dome LEDs (Don't know where to get those)
Interior Footweel LEDs (I know where how to make a switch for them)
22" rims but not sure which ones. Ideas? I don't like dish rims.
I really don't know what else to do that's not expensive haha
Well this is my ride so far!

Thanks,
Chase (chizzy)

Also I want brighter headlights but again, no clue what to get...
With my camaro, I bought everything I needed from AACstyle.com and now I have no clue where to get aftermarket lights and parts.

Welcome! Love the pics. Personally, I'd go for a retrofit if you are looking for more output. Check out the link in my sig for one option. There's a guy on TYF that does em too.

There's not much you can do with these hybrids. The only other option you didn't mention was an intake. Volant, airraid, etc. keep the pics coming?

Welcome. The Audi a4 front looked pretty interesting. Looks like you love tinkering with it. Have lots of fun and power to the dip that stuf does a lot hell it even tints tail lights. Ran dipped tails for a bit and liked but too dark

I never realized the hybrid grille was that different. I think I like the way it came all chrome. I was looking for a denali grille but may have to think about it a lil bit longer still. Truck looks good btw.

About how much are the retrofits? Do you have to send in your existing headlights?

The retrofits cost roughly $1,000 and included a new set of housings. The biggest issue with the retros is aiming. Since they don't have your truck to test fit, the aiming can be a bit off. I don't mind it at all and it's actually hard to notice.

There are other retrofits out there that don't cost quite as much. It also depends on which projectors and other components you select.

Proceeding to get off topic here... what size are your rims and tires? also, what brand? I like them a lot! I'd like them in black.
