I got a white 2001 tahoe ls. I have smoke headlights, tail lights, and 20% tint all around. Should I get white vinyl for the bowtie on the front to match the hoe? Or black vinyl (maybe even carbon fiber) to go with all the accents?

Thanks!

Pics of your rig would help with the opinions but I'd say go white :shrug:

If your windows are 20% and you already have smoked lights definitely do a black bowtie

W33m4n, that looks sweet! The only thing is.. Nothing else is blue on my truck... But with a white bumper and grille it may work. How did you get your white grill? Paint. Same for bumper? Or is it a z71?

Biggins, I don't really want to paint it or use tint because it leaves residue. Thanks for the input!

Nicowagner, I'm thinking white too. Mainly hectare everybody had a black one.

Thats not my Hoe. Its pretty badass tho. I had the same style Hoe as you before I got my NNBS Tahoe. I got rid of the all the chrome bumpers, chrome grills and color matched everything. It looked way better. From being there I will say that fewer big mods make a lot more difference than lots of little ones it kinda makes it look thrown together. I say stick it out and get a white z71 grill and bumper. Then get the black LTZ front valance and z71 fog lights. You should be able to snag all those up at a decent price and turn around and sell your LS / LT stuff to offset the price. Worked for me don't see why it can't for someone else.

I took this thing...

Love the pics! I enjoyed watching your hoe's transformation, it's like watching a kid grow up. Was it hard for you to sell it? I know it would be for me.

I forgot to say: I go with black.

Id go with black emblem and get a white z71 grille shell or repaint yours to match. I plan on doing that to mine eventually, but I wanna get an SS bumper cover and esky vent caps first to have them all painted at once.
