You do some stellar work! Want to come paint the Blazer??

Thanks. Been doing it full time for 7 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm sure I could use an excuse to come to Cali.

Can I come watch and "supervise" from a lawn chair while sipping on beverages?? :D

niiice lookin ride man. i love the idea of making a ride like something they probably could have done from the factory but didnt...and that is one setup they definitly should have!

+1 for denali rear bumper, and i would consider denali steps too, because they have the painted shell. and definitly eskie caps. im kicking muyself for not swapping the caps and rear window/3rd brake light off of my escalade before i traded it. i cant find a decent junk yard anywhere around here, so im s.o.l. on swapping mine for a while.

I wouldn't do an HD hood. Your Tahoe looks great as-is, or if anything, a cowl induction hood would look good. I just don't get the whole HD hood craze. Those HD hoods look OK on lifted trucks, but I personally think they look out of place on a lowered ride. JMHO of course. :)

I don't think a HD hood would make it look better. I looks great the way it is. (once you get the Esky vent caps). COUGH COUGH. lol

Seller is allday_customs

It was roughy when I got it though...about 10 hrs of work to get it ready for paint (I'm a trained body shop tech). If I had to do it again I'd spend the money on the StreetScenes one. It's a bit more money but is worth it do to the very minimal prep involved

Snaps over the existing bumper. Just remove the lower valence (gray part that has the fog lights) and its fits right over... Very tight fit...also put a couple screws in the wheels well area to secure the cover to the bumper.
