Blackout07's wife's new 2015 White Diamond Tahoe

Congrats, that's a nice ride!

And I think that the last thing this needs is more chrome.

Thanks. Normally I would agree but having had two blacked out rides it's time for a change and wife wants it to be shiny. The new grille and maybe some chrome 22s will be the end of it.

Did you use to have a Traverse and a red Avalanche?

That Tahoe is sweet! I was skeptical of their looks at first, but I am hooked now! They look amazing.

Nope. And thanks. They are definately nice and hands down better than our 07 tahoe.

In an environment where people are removing chrome I'm adding it. I added chrome molding on the rear bumper pad and the running boards like the LTZs.

Crap pictures are better than no pictures.

Good work on the chrome! I'm typically not a fan.....mostly because it sticks out like a sore thumb. But what you have done blends nicely, and provides smooth transitions from black pieces to white pieces.

Have you thought about de-badging the doors? Those would be the only chrome pieces I would think that stick out.

Yes and typically I debadge dechrome everything. (See sig). But the wife, coming from a blacked out tahoe, wants a little bling and I'm cool with that.

Dealer "freebies" arrived.

Hitch close out

Underwhelming GM all weather floor mats for all 3 rows

Also tinted the front windows 25%

Got the GM accessories chrome grille today. Got it put in in a couple of hours. What a pain in the butt! If you know what to look for, this can be done in 20-30 minutes, but as per the usual, the instructions from GM are garbage.

Much better than the black honey comb.

My white pearl vinyl should be in within the next day or two, so the bowties front / rear, steering wheel, and maybe the center caps on the wheels will get color matched.

I was scrolling back to see the original grille and gasped again at the dealer decal removal pic . Messes with my head. New grille looks good though and the white vinyl will be a nice touch.

It is a deceiving pic, but Pearl cleaned up nice.

Vinyl is on and it's a perfect match.

Did the steering wheel too. Turned out good but I think the wife and I like the gold a little better inside.

I'm going to do the bowties on the wheels too.

That came out real nice.

That came out real nice.

Thanks. Either no one visits vehicle builds, no one cares, or everyones hates it.

For the steering wheel, I painted the chrome black. Got tired of the glare off of it. It was always in my eyes. That hitch close out is a nice addition too.
