I moving to 22's for the first time and need to sell the stock Silverado 20's. The truck has 11K miles and the tires show normal wear. The new VMAX won't turn'em over so no burnouts or drag racing. I have no idea what they are worth so I'm trying to get $900 rims and tires. The tires are stock Goodyear LS2's.

Either a knock-off Stylin Concepts piece or didn't want to pay $80 for the piece from the factory. By the looks of his house I'm thinking it's a knock-off. Nice truck and house! That thing is LOW must be a 5.3?

I'm in Texas but the price will be right. $25+ shipping from 77041. The hitch is off of a 2007 Classic Crew Cab. If it'll work you're welcome to it.

WOW! You stole it!!!

I'm in Houston, but my wife and I have always wanted to visit Florida. It'll have to be in the TL though due to gas prices. Imagine how it'll look with a set of 22's strapped to the roof and a set of 19's hanging out the trunk and piled in the back seat.

Just sell me both sets. The ones on the Acura and the ones off the Tahoe.

My wife's bone stock '05 TL runs 14.5 all day. No mods at all just me runnin' the six speed up to 7grand @ every shift. If it was an old body style Integra I believe the kill. Nice job!

Paying over sticker, 24's on ANY CAR besides a Bently or Rolls is JUST FREAKIN' RETARDED! I appologize in advance for any pissing match this might start.

Let me know if you don't sell the rims (stock or Foose) and the drop springs. I'm definately interested in those parts.

IMO Magnaflow Cans P/N 14419 These are a "race" type muffler with straight thru flow. Sounds loud and unbearable but they are actually quite mild in tone. They are a single 3" in/out with 4" overall diameter. You'll need two and my cost installed in the factory location with no tail pipe modifications was $290 drive out. Like I said they had a very mild tone under normal acceleration, no cab drone, but would let you know when you opened it up.

You will probably see an increase (minimal) in highway and a decrease in city driving. The two should about average out so any gain in MPG will be small. Just do it! Even if you lose MPG you won't regret it.

IMO you're gonna be "RIDIN' SLAB"with a 3/6. If I'm thinking correctly the DJM kit is lower control arms, 2 1/2-3 hour install, and a flip kit 2 hour install. $450 for labor ain't that bad. It will definately have to have shims and that could take some trial and error if you haven't done one. If they are a reputable shop let them do it, then again it's not my money.

Examples Please!

I'm bone stock NBS crew cab V-MAX. That's why I was so impressed... I did it with torque management.

On the way home from work yesterday a Dodge came flyin' up behind me at the red light and was a little to close for my liking. I could tell he was younger guy and he was in a hurry. There was a Cobalt next to me leaving the light and at just about 30 MPH I had passed him enough for the Goat to get over. He had an exhaust so when I heard him mash on it so did I. He got about even with my rear door when my truck decided to down shift. (At 30 MPH the NBS FLIES.) I ran it up to about 80 MPH in a 50 MPH zone when I let off. I had him by atleast 2 trucks. After a couple of rights and a left with him behind me I figued he'd want redemption at the stop sign. I waited for him to get next to me and stop where he nodded and punched it simultaneously. I thought this race might have been closer since my truck is a TURD off the line... I was WRONG! Sitting there sleeping I realized what had happened and punched it myself. He spun the tires, I didn't, he jumped me a half of a truck from my drousiness but I quickly reeled him in at the top end of first. He quickly appeared in my rearview at the 1-2 shift and procedded to get smaller and smaller until 85 when I let off. Sorry for the long post but I've waited a long time to have a Dodge try me. POWER FTW!!!

Yeah, and I'll be going with LED's all around soon anyway. So if I screw it up royaly it'll give me justification for buying the LED's. Who is the MFG. of that two part clear.

They said to thin the basecoat, not to add black to the clear. I used to work in the paint industry and can tell you that if your adding anything other than pearl to the clear you will have problems. I'm with the other guys in that I think it's a problem with their clear coats fading, changing colors, etc. I'm going to finish it the way I started and see how this turn out after six months if I don't have problem I'll do the tails.

Since the ranting is over I have a question. When using automotive paint, does it allow the same amount of light thru? I just did my third brake light with model spray and have yet to clear them because I just sprayed them yesterday. I know that "painting" will give you the cleanest look, but I don't think you can thin it enough to let the proper (DOT LEGAL) amount of light through.

I'm glad you guys are trying this stuff first b/c I'd be leary e85 loves to eat rubber.

You can ban handguns all that you want. The problem comes when you try to take mine! Go ahead and try Osama... I mean Obama.

I'm a salesperson at a stainless steel distributor and buying a sheet of polished stainless is not the way to go. You can't get the same look going that route. I'll have to do some research on the size of the mesh in the CTS-V but that material is attainable. There's a CTS-V right down the street and I could measure his mesh. I you really want the stainless mesh let me know via PM and I'll get it for ya but like they said stainless ain't cheap right now.

Yeah, it was/is a VMAX. He has since went to a SuperChips, and let me stop you guys before ya'll start ragging handhelds, he's just as happy (maybe more) and the truck performs just as well if not better. As for the gains Jesse has done it on the dyno. As a matter of fact he did it the day before he tuned the classic. I was hoping to do appearance mods first on this truck, but after getting run with @ 80 MPH on the highway by a Tahoe that I know has only handheld, cai, tb spacer, and exhaust I'll have to rethink my plan of action.

The traditional "what's up" head nod and a rev usually gets a reaction if they want to play.

I totally agree with you. I had a classic body VortecMax and never had them side by side but if I had the Classic would have SMOKED the NBS I have now. I don't what they did after they put that motor in the truck (maybe a boat anchor wrapped around the drive shaft) but they sure don't put 70% of the 367 advertised horses to the ground. I know what everybody has said about TM and tunes but I've rode in a Wheatly tuned NBS and still think the Classic was more powerful. I hope that Jess w/wait4me performance can show me what this thing can do. I love Chevrolet don't get me wrong but from 07 to 08 they went backwards IMO. Jesse Bubb +50 HP, & 70 ft/lbs FTW.

I seriously doubt that the Classic and NBS are the same. I know that they have different heads and intake manifold. It would be great if they did though.
