New member: '09 LTZ

[Los]

New to the forum. Here is my recently purchased ’09 LTZ with 91k on the clock.

Done since purchase:
22” LTZ 5 spoke reps with factory bowtie center caps (some like, some don’t…I do.)
LED license plate and puddle lights
Gunmetal painted interior wood grain trim
WeatherTech vent visors
Color matched mouldings and mirror caps
Debagded FlexFuel and removed rear hatch handle

Near future:
Tint
Remove pinstripes
Amber DRLs
Black door handles
Interior LEDs


On to pictures:

The ass is sitting a little higher as my third row is removed. I will probably not be heavily modding (i.e. Esky exterior parts, lifting/lowering etc.) as this is just my DD and I have my older BMW for that, however I simply can’t resist some sort of constant modification. More than likely I’ll do nickel and dime stuff here and there while mainly focusing on maintenance.


And here’s a quick shot of said BMW:

Looking forward to my time here.

Welcome to the board! Definitely needs more low! I like the 22's

 

[992dr]

Nice, they both look great.
That 328 looks like it'd be fun to drive and must handle like its on rails.
Welcome

Are you from MA and live in VA?

Thanks!

Yes, originally from MA. I live in VA now for the military.

Wow, looks really nice with the 22's. Thinking about doing factory GM wheels myself. Came from BMW SUV's and will never look back. The brand is absolute garbage. After 15 years I finally learned my lesson. You're going to love that truck.

Nice

Thanks, I do love it already.

I had always admired the NNBS Tahoe but never seriously considered getting one. I'm not big on change when it comes to buying new vehicles (only owned two vehicles prior, a '94 Accord and the BMW), just changing them once I have them . The way I see it, if it functions and you enjoy it then why bother? I've had the BMW for 5-6 years. But having just returned from a 9 month deployment with a little extra cash in my pocket and a dwindling faith in my 328 as a DD, I decided to fire on it. Very happy I did. Got a great deal to boot.

Looking good...love the 22" reps on there

Love the 22 reps. Never seen em on here before.

 

[08grey]

She looks good. Best of luck. Please start picking off the pinstripe.

Looks great, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't care for the chrome moldings on the 09+ Tahoes. Looks way better color matched.

I just noticed the side mouldings. The 07-08 LTZ's had side mouldings like that. The 09+ LTZ's had new side moulding with the chrome trim. Wonder why your 09 has the 07-08 ones...

It says in his original post that he color matched them.

With tint and no pinstripe, it's going to look great. (Right now it looks really good.)

Bingo.

Thanks man.




Interior LEDs and pinstripe removal disc enroute.

 

[MayhemJoe]

Was the rear hatch handle difficult to remove?

 

[07Burb]

Now....comes right off with maybe just a little adhesive to remove

Cool. I've got plenty of that. I was under the impression there would be mounting holes. Thanks!

 

[bigrhino]

Both vehicles,very nice and thank you for your service.

I love the 22" LTZ reps.
