That is a very nice Tahoe, you should drop it too with the Pedders Sport kit. :D
Also Gibson exhaust are not too common on here, a while back someone bashed their kits for the Tahoe because they were supposedly almost as quiet as stock!

it's a bmw space grey with a matte clear

yeah those wheels are being cut as we speak, barrels ae ready...going with a textured matte black face & gloss black lip :) i will post pics when it's done....hopefully with MFEST & Heavy Hitters behind this build...we should get some some good exposure as far as photos and magazine coverage.

Not going to drop it....if i do the wheels will rub( going with 305/40/24) and i like the stance with the wheel/tire combo....going for more of a " ass kicker, bad ***** fu&%r look.

as for the gibson, i agree their base exhaust is quiet but thatswhy i'm going with the dual extreme....aggressive in looks & sound. the blower should push the db's a lil higher.

i'm not sure what i would be doing with the wheels yet..i'll keep you posted. as for the lenses...they were smoked by C&C collision In Pasadena, Ca.... http://www.candccollision.com/ they do amazing work...while most posh wannabees go thw west coats custom, platnuim way...C&C works with the real enthusiasts

That's the thing i'm talking about, give that hoe a mean look, make that hoe a bad ass, the only thing you missing is an ls7 on that hoe, to make her meaner, but overall, i'm glad to see somebody doing something different than what everybody else is doing. good for you. :cheers:

Woah with a 295/35/24 you will rub at stock height, I sure did, so with a 305/40/24 you will rub BAD, might as well drop it if yiu have to do all that trim work.

interad, the guys cutting the wheels recommended 295/35/24 and assured me no rubbing...i want something bigger...defn'ly going with a 40 series, now whether that be 285/40 295/40 or 305/40 i might have to play around a lil...now i'm not sure what the offsets going to be(i'll keep you informed) but when wheels are manufactured to exact vehicles, you can be lil more aggressive than buying off the shelf wheels.
