I like that! It looks 100x better just with out the amber reflector.

Yea i would just keep it hte way it is with the cleared headlights and parking light lenses. that looks hella clean. also, with the 3/3 you already have, you should just buy rear springs so that the car sits level. But yea, that looks good wiht the lights. that is what i want for my yukon.

are those the stock lights with the amber crap removed?

if so, how did you do that? I would love to take orange out of my headlights

I think he only did that because it is expensive to buy clear headlights, but for the tahoe the clear corners are cheap

my problem with spending even a moderate amount of bread on stuff like this is; i would rather have a muffler, cam, custom tune, electric fan kit and on and on and on... i have a jar of money that fills up just for my truck and i can never justify spending it on cosmetic stuff... but i have checked those out on ebay too.

They are aftermarket blinkers (on the bottom) and I pulled the orange reflectors out of the headlights.

I know how it is. I want a Whipple or Kenne Bell so bad I can't stand it, and I'm always trying to justify it to my self.

Thats how I was on my last truck. It had the SS 6.0, long tubes, intake, corsa catback, dyno tune, shift kit, drag tires. Then I decided I'd get the tahoe and keep it stock performance wise and just do cosmetics. It's gettin hard not to go to work on the engine...

Dude, These are full size SUVs, not Ferrari's, Corvettes, or even Honda Civics. They already get horrible gas mileage. Cams, mufflers, superchargers, etc just make you want to goose it from light to light - sucking up even more gas. And it would still not be "fast." Why not just dump it, so you have to drive super slow - saving gas and money at the same time. pick up an F-body if you want speed.

supercharger would be fun but my goal is to put parts on my truck that are going to benifit the truck! I have no intention of putting my foot it, i just want better millage, longer life for my truck, better sound... etc etc...

As for the Ferrari... i dont have one of those, but i do have a 95 Cadi sts w/ 4.6 northstar... thats my land boat race car, i love that northstart, that old b**ch MOVES!

I got a 98 deville with the same motor. That thing sure loves to run, 110k miles, i beat the crap out of it. i changed the oil in april, same coolent it had from the factory, infact all fluids are the same cept for the oil. LOL but it sure LOVES TO RUN, but i picked it up for 700 bucks as a daily driver and if your easy going you get 26-30 hwy.

But i have to disagree, you put a super charger on one of these suvs and it will move quite fast, when the cadillac escalade can get from 0-60 in 5 seconds STOCK!!!! then a tahoe with some preformance mods should do the same, hell a corvette is only ONE second slower. \


can you think of what an escalade would be like with a wipple, super charger, a turbo charger, flowmasters, shift kit, custom tune, and some drag tires..:cool2:

I dont know where you got your specs on the lade, but I have only found 0-60 times from 6.7-7.5 seconds.
Im sure its quick for an SUV, but no overall.

As far as mpg's - spending $5k on a supercharger isnt cost effective to save 2 mpg's.. It would take longer than the life of the truck for it to pay for itself. We all daydream about turbo's and s/c's, We tell ourselves that we will get better mpg's, but EVERYBODY gets a heavy foot when they have something like that under the hood.

although this post is about better MPG... its taken a turn for the "power" and i think you missed it... lol... just breakin balls... i want a super charger and about 10k worth of mods to boot... but to save on mpg's
