You're an idiot if you lower that truck. Leave it as is and maybe paint the Titan wheels and only wrap the rear glass and quarter panels otherwise IMO the paint job was wasted if you do a full wrap. That 96 4wd Tahoe I've got now I love that thing and wouldn't dare lower it. I just wished it had about an additional 100hp.

I think I have reaffirmed my decision to keep this front end. I had been thinking about having the composite headlight front end color matched and installing it, but I just don't see doing that now.
There was never any plan to wrap the whole truck. I am just wrapping the rear side windows. There might be something on the corner of the back window, and most likely a business name and number between the tailgate and bumper.
I thought I was getting gun metal titan wheels, but when I saw them in person, they were grey. I actually like the contrast, just need to figure out something for the center caps.
As far as your tahoe, I believe whipple made a kit for it!

The princess let me down. Tensioner pulley locked up on the interstate and snapped the belt. Made it roughly 5 miles to a safe area with no belt on it and it gave me no problems.
I think I found the problem.

I might stick some drop shackles in it and turn the keys back down.

I have these weird spots showing up in the paint, and I just figure out what it is. He didn't use a fine grit sandpaper before he painted, so there are spots that still have a rather rough texture. When a little dirt get's on these spots, it makes the paint look milky. As long as, I keep the truck clean, you don't notice it.
I can either throw a fit and make him repaint the truck and probably end up with a worse job, or I can leave it alone and use the truck as intended, to make money with.
