colormatched, bb tune or drop?

[josueh95]

okay guys so i just got a 850 deposit back from my college and should get another 1600 one in january. now i really want to colormatch my front bumper mirror caps and handles, but i also want to do a BB tune and the more i read about it the more i want it and my third choice is spindles up front and the rest of the drop, i can do two possibly but i want to just get one at the moment.

out of these three what would you guys do?

I would finish the exterior of the truck. If you can perp the mirror caps and handels I know my painted will do them all for like $100. So that would just leave the bumper. You might find that off CL from a Z71 already color matched.

Then I'd do the tune.

Then finish the suspension.

good points a good neighbor of mine has a body shop and recently added an hd hood to his silverado and he did a nice job on it..he quoted me 260 to do all the prep and painting

i just want the tune because i am anxious to feel what difference it has over stock

 

[Alex33]

I do suspension first on all my vehicles

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

See Josue you could do both color match and tune for that at that price!

And still have some money left over.

 

[josueh95]

i could but i would just preffer to do one first i like modding it one step at a time and not feel like i spent a good chunk of money eighter way all three options will be done but i want one first unless i break and just do two haha

If I were in your shoes I would probably do paint and tune.

 

[josueh95]

you know what i will do paint..and in two weeks i will get my tune!! jaja then some spindles and install the rest of the drop cant wait to see everything done!

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

So clean that's why I say paint because then you have the paint and Body finished, correct?

 

[josueh95]

correct! that pic jst motivates me haha but hey what do you think of the handles colormatched but with the handle you use to open it in gloss black? kinda like that truck

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

I saw that and was trying to figure out if it was like black billet or what. On yours I think you could pull it because of your two tone hood. Ours couldn't even with all of our black stuff. But you also have black paint Would you do any thing else to tie it in?

I say do the paint and finish one page on the Tahoe so then you can go to the suspension or performance.

 

[josueh95]

thats what i was thinking with the two tone it would match and not be too much just those small details you know and its deffenetly something different, humm any ideas? i kinda want an escalade rear bumper

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

Go Danalie

 

[josueh95]

i want eighter one but cant seem to find any locally! got any other paint ideas?

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

Not really any thing else just might come out tacky. Or too much ya know.

 

[josueh95]

yupp good point maybe some smooth vent caps and i deffenetly still want some z71 flares

 

[NathanJax]

I'm not big on performance with these huge SUVs, so I say colormatch and drop

Then finish the suspension.

I'd do exterior then suspension and then last tune.

I vote for paint.

 

[BaMaDuDe87]

I def get the tune first. Better performance and better gas mileage = savings in gas money. Quicker saving for the other mods.

So tune, then drop, then painting would be my plans.
