Too Altezza for my taste.

I actually liked the plain ol red better.

Truck still looks sick though. :buffer:

Get rid of the plastic thing already. :)

I like the Tahoe badge, looking for a Yukon appliqué so I can replace mine and the emblem is out

Curious as to how you've got your LED switchbacks working. I installed my setup last weekend and everything is auto just like it is stock. The way I wired it I don't have to turn anything on. All four LEDs are on all the time. My only problem is the passenger side DRL spot sometimes doesn't blink when turn signal engaged. I think its due to the new socket I wired in being an aftermarket and not great quality. That or I got one bad LED. They function fine most of the time. Probably the socket.

Also I ordered my project retrofit and should have them back in a few weeks. Curious as to how it looks with everything on at once.

You took yours off for the witer and I'm about to put mine on for the winter. See how good those nittos are in the snow. I may just use them for my trip down south in a few weeks and switch to my Eskys when I get back. Trucks looking good bro. Love the headlights

Everything's good except my wallet. Had the truck in the shop for rear main and knock sensors. Had to get it done for the trip, leaving Friday for Florida in it.
Trucks looking pretty mean with those rims. Keep up the good work.
