Well about a year and a half ago I made the mistake of getting rid of my 02 tahoe. My stepdad and I had spent about 6 months building it and had a ton of time in it. I ended up trading it for a 2005 Acura TL because I figured I should get something better on gas considering my college is about three hours from home, and I go home often. It was a super nice car, and I did a lot of work to it, but I regretted getting rid of the tahoe since the day I traded it. So I decided recently that I was going to try to get it back. I tracked it down and it ended up only being about an hour from home.
I texted the guy that owned it and he ended up being interested in trading, so I got it back. It wasn't taken care of quite as well as it should've been but there's nothing major. When I got rid of it, it was flawless. Now it has a few scratches on the bumper, roll pan, and door handles, and a few other minor things. It still runs and drives great though. I plan on getting it fixed back up this spring. The guy I originally traded it to was an idiot and apparently bent up the 24's, so it's just on the 17's now.
My plan for now is to repaint the bumper, roll pan, and two driver's side door handles in a few weeks. Then in the next month or so I want to get another set of wheels. I'm gonna go with 22's this time around because I need a little more tire for these rough roads. I'm thinking chrome finish again but I'm not positive on which wheel I want. I've got it narrowed down to either the sierra reps, CK375's, or maybe tbss. Let me know what you guys think!
Here's a pic of the TL

This is how it sits now. So far I've replaced the yellowed bumper lights, installed another set of Morimoto 50 watt HIDs because they replaced the old ones with regular halogen bulbs for some reason, and given it a good cleaning and wax.
