So here is a little on the history of the build-up, I had a Tungsten 16 LS basic until recent days, I had purchased back in June/July of 2016 the drop kit from NORCAL 3/6 and i had done some other minor modifications like HID, reverse light, tag bulbs, black bow ties, etc.

so I made a choice in which I traded the tungsten for an Iridescent Pearl Tricoat '17 LT with luxury package, wheel package, theft package and mid row bucket seats, basically has all the bells and whistles I wanted, just missing vented seats but I might just upgrade the 2 front seats later on.

so anyway let us get back on track, after the trade I started to come around more in the forum again and started the process of modifying the truck and here is a list.


What I have done so far.

15% front windshield tint and limo all around.
Front and rear Black bow ties
HID low beam and fog lamps
LED tag lights
LED reverse lights

with all this rain in SFL and my tight schedule, I am trying to hopefully get the truck wrapped black gloss in the next 2 weeks ( grill and eyelids, window trim and the spoiler)

Sitting in the garage right now:

NORCAL 4"/6" custom drop kit with auto ride eliminating
air assist bags for the rear
front and rear Eibach sway bars
energy end links
Spohn Panhard bar

I pull the trigger today and in about 6 business days i should be receiving:

Dub Future S204 26x10
Lexani LH-thirty 295/30-26
lug bolts

Here it is debadge and with the current mods

Do like the new tricoat. Should look good with the suspension and wheels.

Great looking truck and I love where you are heading with it. I have a question though when you say you are having the grille wrapped in gloss black. All of the grille or just the surround and the bars through the middle? If they are wrapping the full grille I would LOVE to know how. I have 2 good friends in the wrap business and both said the grille on my Denali can't be wrapped. It is too intricate and would require so many cuts that it wouldn't last. That is what they told me at least. Now they said they can do the surround on my grille which will be done in the next week or two. Not trying to poo poo on your build in any way. I am legit curious how the shop is going to wrap your whole grille if that is the plan.

Not a problem and definitely you are not pooping the thread lol. When I mean by the grill I mean the surround not the mesh( meaning the center pieces) so you would say the frame portion, just like you are doing in your GMC. There is no point in wrapping the actually mesh/grill inserts as they are black already.

Okay that makes sense. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
