welcome man..

your plans sound good...you def need to drop it on 6's..let me find a few pictures for you..the drop isnt very expensive and will make it look 100 times better then big rims with no drop


escalade with OEM 22's look ok with out drop......

i doubt i will get different rims. the 22's chevy now offers are pretty nice, many different choices. i am debating to powder coat them black, chrome, or not at all. i dont know how a small drop would look with 22's but 26's are out of the question, i have to be able to sell this car in 6 years, and not to some 17 year old kid on the internet, but on a real used car lot. i think i pretty much got it planned out, black powder coating, new headlights, break lights, bowtie, and tint should do the trick.

Dont forget your performance upgrades.

Cold Air Intake, Exhaust, BB Tuning or maybe Magnacharger.......

Keep us posted on your build....

if i were you i would do the sub, stick with the 22" wheels, and either commit to chrome or blacked out. either way you cant go wrong because both look great. then the bowties, headlights, tail lights, and i would do maybe a big brake kit, intake, and a tune, id stay away from exhaust if you want to keep a close to stock look that you can put back on the lot in a few years. but thats just me. congrats on signing, my best friend is trying to make his decision now between college and the mlb and i understand how tough it must have been because it is huge for him.

yeah this sounds good. i need to choose to keep everything chrome, not too much chrome tho. or make everything back. i just gotta see how the rims look on the car because i personally prefer chrome, i would stick w/ the chrome rims, grille, doorhandles, etc and then probably put a black bowtie, or maybe a little bit of orange for the orioles haha who knows.

the signing deadline was august 17th to decide unless he is not subject to the deadline for some reason, some people arent.

Just got back from Baltimore. Saw the BoSox sweep the Os. Hurry up with the rehab ... they sure do need pitching ! On your 2010 Tahoe, did you get the 6.2L ? It sure has some pep - especially after adding CAI, Flowmaster DOR exhaust system and Predator.

What dealership does your dad own? I'm assuming its in Houston since it says you went to Houston Christian. I went to Memorial.

the new tahoes no longer have the option, i can only get a 5.3 L. but i may want to put some performance modifications in it, but only if they are under $1,000 or so and they would actually make a difference, no $6,000 super chargers haha.

my dad used to own lawrence marshall w/ ray childress before he got owned for fraud. he also used to own a dealership in columbus, caldwell, and temple but sold them all due to the economy, got out just in time.

you get almost a million handed to you and you down want to spend 6k to make it the best tahoe ever????!!!!! lol

defiantly a black bear tune then. Getting rid of the 6.2 was stupid on Gm's part. I ******* hate this. All these car companys getting rid of the big v-8s. Looks like ford is the only one not doing this. with the nw 5.0 400+ hp v-8 coming out for the mustang and f-150.

it does help with gas milage as long as your not on the gas heavy. With the mods and charger JK and others has seen a increase in gas milage.
