I am about at the end, well really never done I guess, but don't know what else to do. See if anybody has some suggestions. Now, I am huge into moding, but don't like the flash. I like my ride individual, but very subtle. Trying to keep it unique, but not overboard. Not putting anyones ride down, to each there own, but like it just clean, ya know. So.. Hoping everyone may have new mod ideas to share. I know, I need to take my roof rack completely off, and will just gotta get my special bolts I want to use, so that will be done. HD hood is on the list. Maybe completely whiting out the bumpers "may" be done. and interior mods can always be done simply. But hoping for some unique exterior mods to do. Just added a third brake light strip under the door, which turned out good and different compared to the ones they sell and everyone has. Just made custom fog lights. Sooo, hope you guys will give some ideas. Sometimes helps to have an outside opinion. thanks everyone

05-06 airdam extender? what is that? you have any pics to show me what that is? kinda confused, sounds interesting though. Ya, performance mods are always good. Being blown would be nice!! lol. I also for some weird reason have been procrastinating on a exhaust. got headers, but no muffler. don't know why, but I do need that done. Also, chip/programming is on the list. What's everyones opinion on TB spacer? I hear mixed opinions, but I do understand intake, and don't see why it wouldn't help. Maybe nothing crazy, but colder mixed air/higher velocity of air, which should be acheived by TB spacers "tornadoing" air, should help. Maybe not worth the $40-$60. Let me know if you have it, would you not have bought it? thanks

Ya, got a source for the Hood, probably gonna pick up tomorrow. Now, on the fans. Have you guys noticed much difference in anything once done? I have heard alot about them, was gonna buy, and then someone said don't, It wasn't worth the money. My buddy told me you'll get cooler airconditioning at a stop, but performance didn't add anything. What is the word on this? let me know if it's worth the money, cause would like to go OEM, but that's pricey for what it is. Hope you guys have some info on it. 6.0? Not that into a engine mod. If I want to drive fast, will pull out the sportbike!! My ride is more for mobbing. people always want to race me, and it's a heavy beast, not a race car. Roll pan may be on the list, still up in the air if I wanna do it. I live in Phx, AZ, and people drive like maniacs here. not sure if the look is worth the damage if someone "where" to hit me. KNOCK ON WOOD THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I already have my top plastic color matched on rear bumper, and did a different customization by taking off lower plastic and painting cross bar white to match also. Kinda like the chrome, but may go full white on front and rear bumper. haven't decided yet. keep em coming guys, it really helps. thanks

Ya, shaving is down the road, have done that on almost every vehicle I have owned, and is one of the best mods I have ever done. Just awesome. As far as whiting out the windows- Not to sure that would look good. May give it that panel van type look, and just cheezy. But then again, could look cool. I should photo shop it and see what it would look like. Has anybody ever done it to there Hoe? I was gonna white out my lights, but again, just may be too much. Might as will just shave them and would look much better anyways. Have seen it done, looks ok, but like the two tone type look I have right now, kinda black and white type thing. Doing the rims black may look good then the bumpers could be done. again, down the road. keep em coming, like the help

TB spacers on our cars is a WASTE, absolutely no performance gains from gettin' a TBS. Get a Corsa Performance exhaust (Sounds good and no drone)

I have a Corsa Full Stainless steel exhaust and very happy with it, so happy that if something happened to my Tahoe and I got another one I would get another Corsa ASAP :)

Could you do me a favor and post where you got those custom LEDs and how you wired them above your license plate and in the bumper(Please and Thank you)

I got the red LED strip off of Ebay. believe it was this long, pretty sure tried to get the longest, was actually perfect, it wrapped right onto the top plastic of my bumper, and just filled in the top portion and slightly wrapped on the sides, but not fully side to side, think it turned out perfect.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/120c...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
I didn't get mine from this seller, found one locally for cheaper, but you get the idea. Is thin,flexible and very bright. And much cheaper then the ones they sell for our vehicles. The strip comes with a sticky tape already attached to the backside, which makes easy installation. And then I just ran the wire to my trailer light socket. I had to test each connection to find the brake light, but was easy, will try to post pic to help you out. Found this the easiest way, could have ran to taillights, but the trailer socket is right there and was the simplest for me. I was gonna buy some LED diodes toget turn signals out of the same light, but actually didn't want all that. Since I have blacked out taillights, just ensured some EXTRA brake light during day. for the po's ya know.

I think powercoating the wheels black would look nice. SS bumper as well.

If you white out the bumpers (I recommend at least doing the rear bumper) I think you should black out the wheels. You would have no other chrome at that point and the black wheels would flow with both the black tint on the windows and the black out bumper lights and tail lights. I personally am a big fan of the SS bumper cover (obviously) and think that would look great also. I know you are already planning on it but an HD hood would be great also. For performance I like the AEM Brute Force intake, Corsa or Magnaflow exhaust (Corsa is the best according to everyone but super expensive IMO) , and a BB tune.

Yukondoit and Effekt- you guys are right. Doing the rims in black would be nice and the bumpers, it would diffenently just blend better. I was gonna white the wheels out, but like your saying, having the black tint and tail lights and front lights would probably look better all together. I appreciate all the advice.

Does anybody have any new mods they wanna share that they have done to there rides lately? As far as something different that maybe someone else doesn't, or not seen. Always like to see some originality and bite from there!! lol. thanks guys

Where to start...

I love my corsa it sounds awesome as people have said.

I definitately think you should paint the bumpers all white and add a roll pan. My denali has all white bumpers with a roll pan in the back and it looks great!

I don't think you can go wrong with black or white wheels on a truck that has been completely color matched. I am running a black set in the winter and a white set in the summer.

I've done a ton of mods to my Denali a lot of them being custom and very unique if you want I can post up some pictures of my truck.
