I love the new front end style that Chevy is going with for Tahoes, but not a fan of that vertical strip on the rear passenger windows

Your opinion. However its my vehicle which is why I chose what wheels to put on it and didn't ask for opinions from others. The Texas Badge is where it is supposed to be it's a Texas edition LT. Thanks
Everyone has their own opinions, like you said, it's yours, do to it what you like! Looks great dude! :waytogo:

Looks good! Did you wrap the grill also with vinyl? Looks like you used the gloss instead of matt correct. What did it cost to have all that done. Thanks Also did you use 4 inch from Shadowline

Thanks man! I did have it wrapped with gloss black vinyl. Did the same material for both the door trim and grill. The guy said it would run about $700. He charged me $500 for everything. It was about 10 hrs of work. Not sure what you mean by 4 inch from shadowline. If you want some close ups, I can send you some.

I agree 100%. It looks better blacked out. The drop is definitely on the to do list. I'm going to do a 2/4 drop. The rear gap is alot bigger in person. Can't wait to do that though.

A lot of time and patience involved in that! Can you see any spots where the trim stopped when it's cut for corners or anything. How do they hide it all I wonder with all the different angles and widths. Did someone like a tinted windows shop do it or some other car kind of shop

I think anyone looking to do some type of wrapping job, there's going to be minor flaws. Luckily for mine, out of the window trim & grill, there is only one small part underneath the corner of the grill emblem where the wrap did not stick too well. However, it's not noticeable at all. I think this guy did a damn good job, and i'm glad he took his sweet time. The guy who did it specializes in entire car wraps. I think a person who does window tint would be able to do it as well.

What size tire do you have on those 24s. I just did the 2" rear drop and I am getting 24s but want the largest sidewall I can squeeze in there.

The tire size is 295/35R24. I was thinking of getting some 305/40R24's to have a little bit more sidewall, but then again there may be rubbing issues once I lower it.
