I love the blacked out grille on these trucks. Looks even more sinister on your silver.
Glad I decided to do that to mine.

I love that sticker or decal on the front. May I ask where you got it from?

Thanks guy! It's a crappy aftermarket grille from Japan with a billet grille painted black. I'm debating about using a different grille, but I like the way it looks for now.

I can't stand you for two reasons... 1) You're going to TECORE. 2) Its going to take me two years, give or take, to get my TB to where yours is now. Just kidding though. Ive been following you guys, not in a stalker way, since Ive joined up here and on ORTB. Its been fun watching the metamorphosis of this vehicle, and you both should be really proud of it. Have fun, and be safe this weekend.

I was down by the river for a look after all this rain n freezing rain, The Speed is over the road on both sides of the Black Bridge bridge, a normal occurrence this time of year. It was built in 1916 and is the only single lane steel bridge left around here. Now because of a new home development on the other side of the river they say the bridge is getting too much use and might not stay open to traffic or be replaced with a 2 lane bridge
. I hope the historic designation keeps Black Bridge open and the way it is.

Trust me i've been looking for a while, theres a guy selling factory ss rims in toronto for 2500 with no tires and thats pretty steep in my mind + they're used
Im going to plastidip my rims to see how they look and if its not too bad i'll powdercoat them, if it looks weird i'll sell them and put a couple hundred more for a nice set of black 20s
I think I paid a little under 2500 including shipping to hawaii for my 22's. That's also with mount and balancing the tires too!
Haha thanks guys. I gotta figure out what to do with the front end. It has more potential, but I don't know what direction I want to take on it. Too many ideas.

I got my SS wheels from Tony (NORCALL SS). Gloss black for $825 shipped!! You wont find them cheaper trust me... And i dont think you'll find a decent package for under $1800-$1900. Just got mine in Feb so i know the prices!! The only way you'll get em cheaper is if you get them from someone on craigslist or something but then im sure they have curbrash or something.. plus it'll be hard to find "competition gray" is the color!!

But your voy is beautiful lol one of the nicest i've seen for sure
Btw the bottom pic isnt mine, its the look im going for though
Do the truck a favor... Ditch those stupid boards!! (sorry guys the're lame IMO) All they do is get the back of your pants dirty when you get out!!

Haha thanks, i need to save up for a bit first. I wanna buy the denali front bumper also
For me the pros beat the cons on the boards lol
Pros-makes the truck look wider, prevents stone chips, it snows in toronto and it gives people something to knock their shoes on so theres not a ton of snow in my car + salt destroysss the carpet
Cons-not as clean, collects a lot of dirt, the clearance isnt as good (cant crawl under to fix/look at anything) but thats about it for me
Plus i dont mind the look

LOL Thats what it's all about!! I think they look ok on a stock looking truck. But on a lowered/shaved 360 i dont care for them!! Go all the way or go home
lol
You have some very good points about the snow and stuff. I get quite a bit too. Honestly one of the main reasons i ditched them is they were chrome/polished or something rather and that doesn't really go with my theme!!

That's the thing is I'm not sure yet. I've plasti dipped the chrome trim pieces around the grill and the GMC emblem, I've gone all clear / chrome on the headlights, I've plasti-dipped the chrome face of the headlights. For a while I was considering blacking out the insides of the lights and grill and just making the reflectors and GMC chrome. Then I've also been thinking just spray the chrome strips around the grill black, but leave the grill chrome and custom rig a lower grill to match the Denali. Lots of different parts that I'm not sure what I want chrome and what I want black lmfao.

Hahahaha i had to read that multiple times, i got lost lool
I was stuck deciding what to keep chrome and what to paint black and yesturday i looked at my voy and the chrome headlights and rims looked really out of place hahaha
So im going to try painting one of my rims black with plastidip and see how it looks, if i like it im going to get them powder coated
im just trying to find a place in toronto that sells plastidip cheaper than $24.99 Btw how does the plastidip hold up in the headlights? It doesnt melt or anything does it?

I was gunna buy a voy in that color but i really didnt like it.. But honestly your TB actually looks really nice
I was fooling around with a photoshop app on my iphone and i wanna give you some ideas
Its not perfect but you should cut out where the fog lights go and maybe paint the lower half of your bumper with plastidip, if you dont like it you can always rip it off

I have to say i hated the color when i bought it. (Broke #1 rule i know) but it has grown on me quite a bit. The mile's were really low (56,000) so i went ahead. I wanted a trailblazer REALLY bad and this was the best one that i found.
The clutch fan (i believe) went out SIX day's after i purchased and the dealer wanted me to pay $900 to fix I basically went in there and to make a long story short they "took care of it, well some guy they named bob did they said lol no joke) But its been all good since then!!
Oh i like the photo shop idea, i might have to mess with that!!

Well you ended up with a pretty nice setup and a reliable one at that
And yea it makes it more sporty and if you plastidip you'll protect it from stones

The plastidip has been holding up just fine even with the HID's. I only painted the front bezel so it's not really in direct contact.
