Default New Look of the TBSS

So I had some work done last Wednesday and Friday. Here are the in progress pics and a final pics

Here is the truck as of Thursday. She was lowered 2" by SNL performance. They did an excellent job as they always do.



Then on Friday I took it to Chucks Paint and Body for some paint work. Everything painted was colored Corvette Cyber Grey. It looks black in some pictures but is really a dark grey. Looks a lot better in person.

So I had them paint all four wheels:





I also had them paint the front and rear bowties:




The front chrome bumper inserts were painted:



And finally both side SS badges and the rear SS badges were painted. While they were removing things I also had them remove the Trailblazer badge:



Now here are the completed pics.









I think it turned out very well. It was exactly as I expected.

Looks pretty sick! I thought everything would look a little darker instead of it being kind of a gunmetal color. Good work though

Looks great! Are you RWD, and if so, what lowering kit did you use?

I am RWD. The front is Beltech struts with DJM A-Arms. The rear is Beltech shocks and springs. I removed the airbags in the rear. If you buy the A-arms through TBSSowners they come pre modified so there are no issues.

Here are the parts:
