The Voy project - ridin' durtay

[Halon]

So like I put up in the other thread, I bought a GMC Envoy as my new DD. It's the SLT model which is a step above the SLE, but not as pimp as the Denali version.

Anyhow I've had it for a week and the mods have begun.

Here is the BEFORE pictures of how she looked when I bought her.

Mod #1
was to get the tail lights tinted. Perfect timing, was able to get it done at Primo as they just did a sale on it.

These are night shots, and my camera isn't that great at night photos. I'll get some daytime shots tomorrow hopefully and put them up tomorrow. I'm hoping they look a hair lighter in the daylight.

Either way, I'm real happy with them. Nice shiny gloss finish on them. Thanks a bunch Primo guys!

Ballin. Looks like a nice vehicle, should be fun to be able to tow some things if need be.

Should be a fun thread to watch

[Halon]

Thanks man, that's the whole idea, I needed something that could tow, so this is my new workhorse.

I also just picked up some custom fitted weathertech all-weather floormats that should be here in a couple days. I'll post up pics when I get them.

Next mods that are up and coming are:

- HID's
- Custom molded running boards
- Chrome grille
- Remote Start
- Resonator delete and chrome tip coming out the side.
- Air Intake
- GPS / DVD touchscreen headunit upgrade
- Other various Denali aesthetic upgrades.

That's the plan for now. Not a whole lot of performance, but more aesthetic mods. It is the DD after all, so don't want to screw with the motor too much, ha!

Tail lights look pimp! Good call getting those done, looks nice on the black.

[Ihearrtdsm]

tail lights look great!

[4g63tcrazy]

Lookin good! You should go with a black grill instead of chrome. Keep it lookin "durtay".

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

I didn't realize you were getting the tail lights tinted that dark, time for some black rimzz and black'd out headlight housings.

[A//// Guy]

Lookin good b!

[Andrew7dg]

Looks good!

Had a question though, isn't illegal to have tinted tail lights? My Boss said he got a fix it ticket because of that... Or was he just telling me bs?

[Halon]

Legally you need to have some sort of red reflection in the back. I've had my Talon's rear lights tinted about the same darkness as these for a couple years now, and I haven't run into issues. But I guess it really comes down to the cop, and if you run into the wrong guy on the wrong day.

They are a little darker than what I wanted, but they only did 2 coats, oh well, in the future I may get another set and have them do just 1 coat. But I'm leaving them as is for now because they still look decent. In person, they aren't "black" either, they are still quite transparent so the lights are still very bright, even in the daylight. Pictures don't show it all that well. I'll try to get some daylight shots in.

Plus keep in mind this has daytime running lights, so the rear red lights are always on when driving, which may help keep the popo from catchin me ridin durtay.

Tails look good, CEO.

FD rx-7 tail lights are smoked from the factory.....?


anyway...looks good!

[Kracka]

Looks good!

[Goat Blower]

They are definitely illegal, but so is my front plate that's been missing for ten years. Looks good!

[Halon]

Yes the FD ones are tinted. But like I said, legally you need to have some sort of red reflection. Notice the big red reflector? That's what makes it legal.


Anyhow, here's some daytime shots. I may be getting another set eventually, and have them do just 1 coat to make them a little less gangsta tinted.

[tehehodi]

i think that's perfect, not gangsta at all.

[blageo23]

You need to debadge that thing! But I like the way the taillights look!

[Halon]

Debadging, hmm... I'm not sure if I want to do that yet. Part of my likes the badges, but part of me thinks it'd look cleaner without them.

[asshanson]

Ooh, debadge AND tint those circle reflectors in the rear bumper.
