Blackout?

[tmt502]

I’m not a big fan of chrome, and the LTZ seems to be littered with it, lots may think I’m crazy, but I’d like to see two colors on my truck, white and black. Have others done blackouts on a white rig? I’d love to hear your experiences!

I agree chrome can get annoying sometimes. All black is my choice, done it on several vehicles in the past. I've never had a white vehicle but if I did, I would do white/black too and delete chrome.

I agree with you and the chrome. What i did to my 07 LTZ was remove all the chrome and replaced it black pieces. Looks much better than the chrome. I also painted the door molding to give the contrast on the truck.

I like it. What did you paint the molding with? Did you also paint the "TAHOE" letters?

How did you do your grille?

If your looking for some black door handles I just posted some in the FS section.

The Tahoe Letters are sold on eBay, the grill I plastic dipped.

Are those taillights the smoked Vland ones? Also, is your 3rd brake light lens tinted?

Yes, Vland tails and the 3rd isn’t tinted yet. i will do a light smoke to them to match the tail lights.

I have the non tinted ones and thinking of changing them to the tinted ones. Do the brakes lights show through the tint OK in the daylight?

Do you have any pics of them in the daylight with them off? Curious how dark the tint is and how much the chrome shows through

I’ll post some of the taillights during the day tomorrow.

I’m right in the middle of deleting the chrome on my WDT colored LTZ. I just finished the door handles this weekend (driver’s was failing anyway).
When I was getting my bumper replaced (different story) I had the body shop paint the rear strip of chrome black.
I have new black wheels awaiting tires to arrive, then demold and debadge. I’ll post more pics when it’s finished.
