Shaved Rear End

[Modded]

Here is a little teaser of what i've been up to.
First I rewired the lift gate acuator to the pop lift glass switch so I could shave the handle. Then I also had a body shop guy shave the wiper arm while I was at it. Figured I would shave both because all I have seen is shaved wipers on the NNBS. The way I wired it the lift glass still pops with the key fob.
Only one pic for now because it has to go back to the shop to get repainted since there is a bubble in the paint. And yeah I know its dirty.

Looks nice dude

Couple questions...
1. Do you plan on eventually shaving the appliqué?
2. When you shaved the wiper did you remove all the wiring and motor too?

I'm liking that!!

looks good. Thought about getting my wiper shaved also. Never use it.
I got a question also, where is the handle for those, i thought they were under that applique thing above the plate?

Regardless looks good.

Also....what did you do about the wiper switch on the inside?

 

[Tahoewhat]

ohhhh i thought that was a just a gm thing to go w/ the top one.. lol..

thanks

 

[07Burb]

GM would NEVER do that!!!!

 

[Tahoewhat]

course not

That looks really good M ... love that look.

Interesting side note upon noticing the little handle on the back window ... I never realized you guys were able to open the rear window separately. The Hybrid is one piece aluminum hatch to which the back window is sealed. Yet another subtle difference .. and as it happens rather fortuitous as I also would have to shave it.

ETA: Your topic tittle was misleading.

very nice

Kinda funny you posted this today. I shaved my butt today. True story.

To answer the questions not answered, all I had to do is remove the wiper motor and run some wire of my own and that's it. I also left the wiper switch inside but the harness that went to the wiper motor I unplugged and just ziptied back there so it pretty much useless. Then I removed the rear washer fluid pump fuse because I left the washer fluid line intact in the tailgate and if I did not remove that I could possibly soak the tailgate if I accidentally turned it on one day.

Also I don't plan on removing the applique. Mainly because it holds the licnse plate lights and the pop trunk switch and if I removed it I would have to run a switch all the way inside to pop the trunk (which is useless because you have to pull the lift glass as you press the switch and you can't do that from inside) and I would have to find a way to mount license plate lights and have it look good, not possible on a tailgate like the one below, with even the applique shaved.

Looks good bro!

I rarely open my rear window. I've seen the secret service roll with their window open. I'd hate to be facing backwards while riding.

Obviously I think it looks good!!! When i did my tahoe I left all the factory rear wiper lines and switches intact. Of course you have to pull the motor and all that shit. There is a little check valve that is about 6" from the end of the line where it mounts to the hatch and I just turned it around. So if the button was pressed long enough it might bust the little plastic/rubber hose but I don't think I have ever accidently hit it. That way everything is still there 100% if I ever put another hatch with the wiper on the Tahoe.

Holy crap...finally a NNBS with a roll pan.... I am in love with it....bet it cost some scratch though....also looks like a little rear fender work to possibly....

 

[07Burb]

yeah, you'd definitely have to do some work with the fender to get it all to flow perfectly like that. I really wanna do a roll pan!!! That's one of the only things I don't like about the NNBS rides is the clunky lookin' rear bumpers....
