SS Tahoe

So i came across some pictures of a SS Tahoe concept GM did. I've never seen it before an i went from 6 to midnight when i saw it. So it got me to thinking. When i get back from Iraq in july next year the wife wants an 05/06 tahoe. My dad and me have made/ altered ground effect before and i figured this wouldnt be very hard. With a street scence front bumper cover i figured all the front cladding will fit. If the rear door sections are close in size it should only be a matter of cutting them down with a little finishing. what do you guys think?

ya i think its very possible. me and my dad have stretched and modified a handful of ground effects kits over the years. so these shouldnt be any different. how hard do you guys think it will be to get ahold of the cladding pieces ill need? gary

Evan just did similar project on his silverado. He did an esky conversion though. Pieces shouldnt be too hard. Ebay.

Evan even did the sunroof and roof cladding

They should of built an RCSB SS. That's why I'm building mine to my own idea of what a true SS is.

Tahoe SS looks like a possibility. Street Scene front bumper, aftermarket grille, rear bumper (maybe a version of the SSS's?), SSS wheels, and some custom SSS body cladding. As shown by Evan's build--not easy, but it can be done!

so if thats infront of the GM tent can i assume they had a hand in making it? if not i wonder who did it. anyway you can get some more pics of that. if a sub wasnt so heavy that would be nice to have. they sure did a nice job. it looks factory:dancenana: gary

i remember the mexican tahoes/suburbans from 05-07 classic had the silverado front. it wouldn't be too hard to do. there's actually a tahoe on a lot here with a silverado clip

the newer front end is completely bolt on except the brackets for the bumper i think. im not sure which front end looks better as an SS. The only problem is the SS Tahoe concept has a flat top on the bumper and the street scene bumper doesnt look as good as the factory one.
