Chrome and stick on hood scoops :2thumbsup:

Thank goodness I have an old Photoshop job ready for the occasion

PapaBear229 · Mar 20, 2014

You guys ought to know those hood scoops add about 20 HP a piece :rotfl:

What's funny is the hood scoops appear to be on the wrong sides. That look looks ugly, it really looks like they should at least trade places so the angles aren't pointing toward the center.

mmmmmmm.......CHROME!! :salivate:

blazinlow89 · Mar 20, 2014

Surprised no one has said anything about the camo around the rear wheels. All that chrome and then real tree.

I think that is just chrome reflecting whatever is around it.

Sez the guy who knows chrome. Probably got caught posting some reflecto-porn on the OS. :rotfl:

And surprisingly stuck with the stock rims, which aren't even shiny. In fact, those rims are kind of ugly. The six-point ones that were shiny were much nicer.

Anyone else notice the modified running board? The front end still has its curve underneath, but it's been hacked and plugged at the other end.

The_Roadie · Mar 20, 2014

Looking closer, those look like modified tubular nerf bars, not real running boards.

And changing the rims - now that would cost real coin. Not like the other mostly-adhesive mods.

What's with the flowery script in the back window? I never see that near me unless the vehicle is a tribute to a dead grandmother or somebody and there's always a tombstone set of dates included.

Maybe they couldn't afford to have "Da" in the middle, or maybe it's a euphemism to what they like doing :undecided:

Actually those look like the same as I have.

Does it skip on the rear curve, too? Maybe the EXT/XL ones look "normal" and the SWB ones forgo the curve because of the proximity of the door to the wheel. I'll stick with my Rainier ones :rotfl:

xavierny25 · Mar 20, 2014

View attachment 33548 All the chrome I'll need. I say if don't have chrome rims don't bother with chrome accents. :thumbsup:

Hey, I have those wheels!!! I like them on my Envoy because they actually match the paint color of the rest of it. Mom's Voy has the factory chrome ones, but I wouldn't trade for anything.

mcsteven · Mar 20, 2014

Hey - those are the better wheels (says the guy who has those wheels). Personally I don't like the chrome ones, but to each his own. I had those wheels, along with the chrome grille, door guards and badging. I painted most of the grille (pics under "what did you do to your GMT today?")

No one seemed to notice the rub strip on the passenger side of the grille guard hanging off.

smt 59 · Mar 20, 2014

The whole look is just wrong! :explode:

It's not about the shine, it's about the design. And the design... :no:

I do agree that they look bad on that particular vehicle - all the add on crap really makes takes something away from them. I think you'd like them if you saw them on something like, say, my Envoy. :rotfl:

We gotta meet up one of these days when I'm going through Pennsboro. :yes:

Now that I've got her exterior looking like I want, the wheels add to it IMO, and I honestly think that in my particular case that the chrome ones would make it look bad.

I like the design. I think it enhances the classy look instead of having just a straight spoke design.

I really don't see anything wrong with it, this is a show truck if I have ever seen one.

That's terrible, I swear it looked like camo print.

I saw this poor Voy a few years ago. There is a thread here somewhere.....

Imo That's horrible. His friends are even worse for letting him do that. Friends don't let friends go out there looking crazy like that.

Only because your bike isn't a Harley. :raspberry:

Stewzer55 · Mar 22, 2014

Wow, I'm nauseated right now. Only chrome on my TB is the strip in the grill and I want to get one in color and paint to match the body.

I would imagine if you have the materials to properly prepare the surface, the one you have could be painted without needing to get a new one.
