Default Idea.. has it been done? Would it look good?

for some reason the idea of putting a nbs silverado front clip like an 04 style on a OBS 2dr 2wd tahoe sounds like it would look good, but im not fully sure.. whats everyone think? would it look good? has it been done? is it doable ?

I saw a 03+ clip grafted onto a OBS over on fullsize chevy. I didn't think it looked good enough to save the pics though.

never mind, wrong mag. it has been done and looks good if done properly. 99-06 clip on a 90-98 model, or 07+ on a 99=06 model. seen both, look great. find some one that can do a rendering to your vision and see how it turns out!

I don't think it will look good. The width of the OBS body is narrow compared to the NBS trucks. It won't look right once you start altering the stock proportions of the front clip. Depending on the quality of work, chances are there will be alot of ugly gaps too.

I looked into doing a 03-06 2500 truck from end on a 05 2500 suburban that had been damaged... The truck came back with a junk title so i didnt get very far on the thought process.

That and im having a hard time just fidning a 00-02 25-3500HD "power buldge" hood to put on the suburban
