Default AMGfan 2011 Suburban LT1500 Build

Well it's started...the base SUV is a Summit White LT1500. I love it as is but I've never been one to stick to OE.

I had the Clearbra put on yesterday. It is a must in Florida especially with lovebug season and dirt haulers so prevalent on I75.

The audio and video equipment was picked up by my installer yesterday, too.

I was supposed to get the wheels/tire upgrade tomorrow (they have come in) but the shop I use for all the modifications wants me to wait until the brembo brake kit comes in to do a test fit...that should be on Tuesday. They told me that this was the safest route to take...

I'm dropping the Sub at the audio/video installer tomorrow.

Received the front headlights and rear taillights today...

The Sub loaded with goodies...ready for installation (starting Tuesday of next week)

Here's one place: http://www.lmperformance.com/53163/27.html?r=y

Not much more than an OEM tip.
