Work on the nnbs

[1sckhoe]

The old lady wanted a bigger vehicle than her little g6 so we found a 08 ltz. After 2 days of owning it I got the itch to mess with it like I do on everything. Plan was not to go crazy but make it a clean, good looking vehicle. First thing I did was had the front windows tinted to make the rears. Then I demolded it. Lowered it 2/4 with a belltech kit. And just put on a hitch cover and took off the flex fuel badge. Still trying to convince the old lady to let me take the tahoe badges off. Let me know what ya think!

Windows tinted

Lowered, demolded

Hitch cover and flex fuel badge gone

Good start but I kinda prefer moldings to break up the doors....drop looks good!

 

[NathanJax]

Fatboy?

I would have kept the moulding and debadge all the rest.

Truck looks good though

Yep sure is! 97 with a 107 s&s bottom end and axtell jugs, chain driven.

I didn't mind the moldings but they were starting to fade, everyone has their own opinion. Go hype go ahead to take the badges off! I have the alignment in the morning and then I'll debadge it and maybe color match the bowties!

Nice start!!

Looks good. Where did you get the hitch cover from?

nice work on the mods!
I think it looks great lowered & w/o moldings, only comment: if the moldings go so should the badges. You got the flexfuel badge off (a must) I would ditch the lettering, trim designation, even the plastic tab on the lift-glass

love that blue

I just bought it on eBay for 75 shipped and it was painted. Yea next day we get some sun outside I'm going to take the badges off. The ol lady said the Tahoe can come off but she wants the ltz still on there. I can live with that. What about the hatch plastic?

Good start!

Real good start, looks great

Thanks guys. Not sure if I want to take the rook rack off yet or not. But I will be color matching the bowties and debadging the tahoe

 

[cjweb11]

What about the hatch plastic?

There is a small plastic tab in the bottom center of the rear lift-glass, attached with adhisive tape or glue or something, some people like to remove it with debadge, makes for a really clean look in the back

before and after:

Oh ok gotcha! Well ingot the front bowtie color matched a bit ago and was trying to take just the gold piece off the rear and I snapped it in half. Anyone know where I can get one of those? The chrome outside is still on the truck so I just need to 'cover' that has the gold behind it. Need it ASAP!

 

[1sckhoe]

Well I got the front done the other day but I had to order a new rear because my bumb*ss screwed it up. But here's the front!

Looks great ... needs bigger rims tho.

Haha I wish! Those aren't quite in the budget yet. I have a few other projects to spend money on before rims come along. I would like some opinions though. I talked to Blackbear tuning and it's sounds like something I would want to do but I'm not really sure if I should do anything else to the motor or just leave it stock. It is a 'family' vehicle so I don't want a loud exhaust or anything(I have my cummins for that)but I was thinking a mild cam, injectors and tuning. What do you guys think would be most beneficial? Looking for a little more horse and better mpg on the highway without swapping gears
