way2hi, all those ideas surely arnt within price range. What is a Tahoe Grill Shell?

Tahoe Grill shell is all chrome and looks alot cleaner than the standard silverado grill with textured black around it.

As way2hi mentioned:

4/6 or 5/7 Drop - ~600 with shocks + ~300 to install
Billet Grille ~ 100
Tahoe Grille Shell ~ 200 (looks better than standard with billet)
Billet bowtie(or have the OEM painted white)
Rollpan ~ 250 painted
Clear turn signals ~30 off ebay
smoothed and painted bumper cap - no clue on pricing...probably 200-300 with paint.
escalade handles ~70 bucks
shaved tailgate handle and holes ~ 300
euro tails ~ yuck

Looks like you are coming in at $2150, thats under your 2300 budget with all of this :rocking: not to mention your truck would really stand out, even with stock wheels

Prices where I live are alot cheaper.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33586&item=2468102138 - $200 to install

That kit doesn't say what brand it is? :think: The DJM 4/6 is the same price as well so i'd go with something i know about, for all you know that could be a shAIM kit unless i'm missing something at it is belltech?

I was also quoting my prices at the "higher end" of the spectrum to give him a good idea of a "worst case scenario" as i know he can come out much cheaper

What does it take to install the C-notch? And is that something I can do myself or do I have to take it to a body shop?

I did mine myself. I etched the notch onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out, traced it onto the frame and cut it out with an angle grinder. then i fit the notch up and held it in place with some clamps and drilled the holes and secured it. I did one hole at a time as well as doing the bolts and nuts before moving to the next so the C-notch couldn't move around on me.

Its very intimidating, but also easy when you get down to it and do it

As for tonneau covers, they are all pretty expensive, gaylords and snugtops are the only ones i like and they typically run 700+

Will this kit do what I wanna do? And what else will I need to pick up to complete it? Click

I have that kit on my truck right now and i have no complaints. I'd recommend it to anybody! :bowtie:
