That is one beautiful Suburban. Looks better than the new ones rolling off the dealerships. Probably going to last longer too... What did those wheels come off and how much did they cost? I wouldn't mind going for those instead of the Moto Metal 951's I was gonna get.

Yep, thats a mighty fine truck. If it were mine, only because I can't keep anything stock looking, I'd remove the chrome striping, and get some black wheels.

However, being it's not mine, that thing is absolutely perfect.

Thank you! Theyre off a 06-13 z71 silverado, or 07-14 z71 tahoe or suburban. They were $550 about four years ago.

Thanks man. I would demold it, but im afraid itll peel off old paint haha. I like black on some things but theyre hard to keep clean. I might paint sections of my wheels later on.

Demolding shouldn't peel off the paint, just order a heat gun off harbor freight and get the molding smoking hot, then use fishing line and cut it off. Whatever is left over, just use an eraser wheel on - makes quick work of it.

I did it on mine, was easy as all get out.

I actually really like the idea using the Pontiac radio. The red is different in a good way. I've never been a big fan of gray, but that shade I like a lot. Looks great man.

Thank you! Figured it would be different haha.
How would my grille and exhaust tip look if i had them done in black chrome? And how good does that stuff last?
