i would do the TBSS badges on the doors and stock TBSS location on the liftgate. truck looks great! now you need to get the "SS" insert on the steering wheel.
drop a 6.2/6spd in there with a TVS2300 and you can do this
the SS on the door makes the side profile bro.
see how you barely notice in the sun, but it's there.
wondr if the sterring wheel button fits? would add the a nice subtle sportiness to the interior, it's what GM would do (as well as the emblems, just going off your motto lol)

I know all about the TBSS... I put 75k miles on one in the last 30 months before my wife wanted a new ride and I needed to get a more "grown up ride" for work
The SS Steering wheel button/center decal won't fit I dont think b/c its dead flat where as the Tahoe one is curved. I could get the corvette flag one but like I said before I aint tryin to pose...I'd only do any badging after the truck earns it with some ponies....lots of them haha

Love your TBSS! So you're dropping a 6.2L in there??? Also, if you get the 'SS' badges, are they going to be the silver, black, or grey (same as rims)?
Looks awesome. How is it without the side steps? I'm 6 feet tall and I'm right on the line of needing the steps or not. I think if they weren't there I'd be fine but since they are it is easier using them rather than trying to step over them.
Look so much like my buddy's black TBSS and makes me really want to take of the roof rack. I don't want to spend the money to do it right though.
Hey any chance you kept the "Tahoe" badges? I'm considering re-badging lol ironic huh?

I don't have the old badges...if you're gonna shave the roof rack do it right. I had the holes plugged and some flat caps before and it just doesnt look right IMO.
My steps never got used and infact were incredibly in the way even for my wife (5 ft 3). Granted my truck is dropped a couple inches but the steps would get dirty and hit the backside of my shins ever time I got out and would dirty my dress pants. Now with the side skirts instead of steps it not only eliminats this problem, it looks a lot cleaner, and gets rid of steps that never get used b/c they're at an akward height after being lowered

Loving the Hoe, I agree. Can't wait for Chevy to do something different and start Making an already modded beast in a big body. Wouldn't change a thing!

body shop did it with the same paint they did the exterior with. They prepped with some plastic primer

Painting some interior pieces won't cost you that much but if you wanna do it on your own just be patient with your prep and finishing. I wouldn't imagine having them done would run you more than a couple hundred at the most
yeah what kind of shop did you take it to for the wood grain spray because that looks beautiful. Does it still have the wood pattern and its just black/dark? or is completely flat black, i can't tell from the pictures.
great job this is beautiful. Factory looking, but on its own level for sure

lol... good answer.
On topic to the thread, I can't get over how clean the side skirts look and i'm thinking how sick mine would look with a subtle drop... are these the same side skirts that carcrz put on his 01 yukon? They look the same and one's on an nbs and one's on an nnbs. where did you get it?? The more I look at this thread's pics the more I love this whole idea!!! ?You should bring your new 'SS' to GM's R&D Dept. and tell them they should mass produce it and you should get a cut
