Valence

[rushingman]

Could a lower valance off of a Z71 go on a base model tahoe?

yes, they make 2 versions z71 (gray) and z71 ltz (black) The LTZ z71 is way better. Either way you will need z71 fog lights.

Im assuming youre talking about you 05...

----> mod please move to NBS Exterior

Didn't realize I did this in the 2014 section. So I can out the z71 valence on my base tahoe? Can I use the fog lights too?

The valance snaps in just like the current base one, just looks different. The fog lights use the same plugs just screw on, actually its a very very easy mod just cost money.

So yes you can. I did it on my 02 Tahoe.

Before:

No Fogs:

With Fogs:

Do you have aftermarket headlights? They look REALLY clear.

TYC clear headlights and TYC clear turn signals with orange bulbs in both the DRL and the turnsignals.

I don't know if they make that version anymore, it was certainly the best halogen headlight out there for the NBS which was only short of the Xenarcs.

A lot of people run funky headlights on the NBS trucks and I think it looks like piss. Personally I like the clear yet still appears to be OEM look but you know its been changed it that makes any sense. I only ran the clear turn signals for probably a year and went back with new clean oem turns and I think it looked better. I would just buy a new set of turn signals find a nice clear set of headlights (clear not black and not the starburst pattern crap) and these tails:

I could go on and on and on about suggestions....

Like remove the door molding.... get color matched door handles..... etc etc.

Not to spam you anymore than I already have but this is one of the best setups on a white NBS, minus the crap starburst turn signals i previously mentioned

If I decided to put the door moldings back on, how would I do that, because I took one off, and it took about two hours total to get it off and get some if the adhesive off, but it's still not all the way off.

Take a razor blade and scrape most of the tape off the molding, then adhesion promoter on the molding and new double sided tape.

To take them off easier, use fishing line in a sawing motion

 

[rushingman]

I mean how to put it back on

Get a heat gun and heat that shit off don't use razors or anything use high test fishing line and run it behind the molding then use a 3m eraser wheel and the stickum comes right off then polish wash and wax

If tried using a heat gun, but it doesn't work like everyone else is saying.
And I've read somewhere using fishing line can potentially scratch your paint

Damn dude... I did it on both my NBS tahoe and my NNBS tahoe... I just heated it up enough to get the end up then just ripped that shit off, I let the 3m wheel do all the work with the left over adhesive.

 

[rushingman]

Can I get the 3m wheel at Walmart?

I need a 33 eraser wheel. Is there any auto store that carries them or just gotta get it online?

 

[middelgriff1]
