Looks good. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the tinted headlights/bumper lights. I like the blacked out look but think there needs to be a little contrast in there as well. Nice job though, everything came out great.

+1000. I love the painted running boards. Very few guys with tahoes do this, but I think it is a must. So glad to see some one do this. The truck looks great. The lorenzos are a perfect rim choice as well. I think you should paint the side mirrors, get the escalade rear pillar covers and paint them, and paint the top and bottom of the bumper.

STEALTH is what im going for still not stealthy enough for the cops but they end up complementing me instead of a ticket
