My New Look: A complete exterior makeover

[SC88]

I hope this works, i'll snap some better pics when I get home.

Thats a 2/3? Do you have any issues with rubbing with 26's? I am running a 305/30/26 and don't want to cut up the truck just to fit a set of wheels or lower it. I have a small issue with rubbing on the plastic at times when reversing

Yeah its the jdm 2/3 kit from Tony... I did a little cutting on the plastics, but its not necessary. It only rubbed a little when reversing like yours.

Nice! How do you like the ride?

It's good, but I'm switching to spindles and better shocks.
Drop keys are to stiff for me and has a lot of negative camber on the front.

 

[SC88]

Oh so thats keys in the front? well maybe if I get a drop (Spindles) it wont go that low. Yours looks like the 3-5 kits I've seen. Looks good though!

Lyukonr's sig sys he has 295s but you have 305s right? So that will make a difference as far as rubbing.

True ^^^

Not by much, His your OD is 32.96 and mine is 33.20 so I don't think that would be much of a issue. The rims look to be the same too so I can speculate the width and offset being the same.

Do you have pictures of how much the plastic was trimmed?

Thank for the info! The front seems to be where I am rubbing or was after the body work it seems they may have tweaked something and it didn't rub at all when pulling into the drive way.

Never had a issue with the rear but might when lowered.

Smooth Pillar Covers

Love the smooth rear pillar covers. Just ordered some for my '03 Yukon. I had previously colormatched the originals, but they started peeling. Can't wait to get them done.

After doing them I can honestly say I like them. I thought I would like the escalade version better but seeing them in person smooth I think I made the right choice.

Its look really good. Thats a pretty nice transformation.

Holy crap first I've seen of all the imperfections, you're right I don't know why they paid so much attention to that passenger fender it doesn't seem to have any tape on it. Now hurry up and get it back so we can work on it.

 

[popo8]

That thing looks fantastic...

Thanks! I expect it to look 100x better when I get it back after the paint corrections.

Great job with the Burbie, looks awesome. Question, what do the vents in the rear pillar do? I like the look of your Street Scene smooth ones, just wondering what purpose they serve.

Loooooks sick! Do that drop and you'll be golden!

Thanks! From what I was told and I don't know if its true but there are small flaps on the back pillar that help with cabin pressure when you close the doors with the windows roll up. I always thought it was for AC purposes.

Thanks! The 2/4 kit with shocks have been ordered from Tony! Got the helper bags from summit racing already so i am just patiently waiting for the kit to arrive.

Might order the rear arms, track bar and sway bars to do with the rest of the stuff while I'm in there.
