Installed the new 24's yesterday. Painted the grill and installed the red door handles today (had chrome before). Also painted the LTZ emblems to see how they would look black.

To Do List:
Color Matched mirror caps
Install 3/5 drop
Paint "Tahoe" emblems
New headlights (Projector HIDs)
New Tail lights (Smoked LEDs)
Anything I'm forgetting? LOL

How do you think it looks so far?

EDIT**Put in a before Pic

I love it. But please don't ruin it with those ricey halo "projector" headlights! :(

Unless you get the custom-made ones that only have projectors (no cheesy LEDs and halos). That would look really nice.

Painting the emblems is a first I've seen so far (not saying it hasn't been done). Sounds awesome, can we get an up-close shot?

Welcome btw. :D

They look good on some cars but not Tahoes! I have seen an NNBS Tahoe here with them and it looked horrible. But I really like the custom set that just has the projector conversion, they look amazing. The halo headlights don't even use the projectors if I remember correctly.

Well the lights I have on order have the Halos and LEDs. I don't know if I will hook them up though (just playing it by ear)... I'm definitely going to hold onto the stockers though to make sure I like the new ones.

I'll post up some more pictures as I progress through the build.

Thanks

You might be able to pull them off. If it were me I'd snip the wire to those LED's and halos, then just reroute the light to actually go through the projectors.

Posting pictures is always appreciated here, so thanks!

The low beams go through the projectors on this one, the highs are just a standard reflector style lens.

Hm. Then I'd just cut those wires! Haha. Although it would depend on the light output those aftermarkets give. They might not have good beam patterns, or could melt with HID's.
