Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

[adventurenali92]

That's good info to know! I'm probably gonna order a set of wheels from him soon. He's got several of the gm wheels that I really like in replica 20s. So that's good to know the he takes care of his customers!

I plan on getting a lowering kit from him as soon as I get some extra cash. Your experience really sealed the deal for me.

Furthermore, this is what I wrote in a member evaluation/feedback post about my experience in dealing with Tony/Norcal SS.

I originally ordered the 3/5-6 kit and panhard bar. I then ordered the 24" TBSS wheels. Fast shipping and good communication on all orders. Even after the order arrived with any additional questions and advice to get the drop kit dialed in.

Then the most recent issue of a defect with one of my wheels that was covered under warranty from Factory Reproductions. The new wheel arrived in 1 week in the FR box with a return label attached.

for good customer/vendor service, advice and assistance. Really appreciate it. Thanks Tony.

My experience and outcome has been great.

It's the follow through at the end that makes the difference.

How are you making out in the storm down there ? Looks like it should miss you.
Good luck. Hold on tight

Thx man.

We dodged a bullet in Broward County yesterday big time. Really just some rain and winds not more than 40mph.

We prepared really well at home and work just in case, but a lot of areas north of us even starting at 50 miles away have power outages and some are experiencing the effects now and into tonight with wind and surge.

Kind Neptune spared us this time. @#1taho

Ever thought about machine finish grille inserts ?

 

[Fosscore]

I put LEDs in my fog lights tonight. I did this a while back, but didn't like the output of the LEDs back then, so I returned them. I don't really use the fogs in the city, but figured it would be nice to have them a bit brighter and whiter when I flash all my lights on using the Fleece Performance
GM All Lights On Module.

These LUYED brand bulbs from Amazon are loaded with a 900 Lumens/78 piece/360 degree tower and look pretty good, given the weak output that the NBS fog light housings give off. Perhaps not the cheapest bulbs out there for pretty much an auxiliary light that does not get used all the time at $16.99/pair, but pretty happy with the at/near 6000K color and output to match my DRLs and Prime shipping is always a winner.

Here's the link on Amazon.

And now the comparison pics. Before you guys beat me up, I know the Depos need a retrofit to complete the front end and get rid of the yellow halogens, but at least they are projectors. The retro will have to wait for now.

Passenger fog OEM and Driver fog LED.

Both fogs LED.

@05Single

Yes I have thought about maybe something like NeverSatisfied has on his crew cab and the HD grille as well, but I am pretty happy with the CM OEM grille right now. I like the clean look of the front end with the all clear lights (no amber in the LED DRLs). Always open to suggestions.

When I baked open my fogs and removed the chrome cap inside they got a lot brighter. Just a thought and a fun project to do if you so choose.
Btw I didn't put it in the oven I simply used a heat gun.

That's strange. I'd think without the reflector it would've gotten duller, not brighter.

 

[05Single]

Considerably brighter. It's not a reflector but more of a deflector for oncoming traffic. Same as newer headlights , It's low enough being a fog and it's design that It doesn't bother other drivers.
I did the same in my 05 silverado heads with hids. Back then it was a dick move lol
