Hi, I’m Robert Starkey from Lake Havasu City, AZ. – yes, it gets hot here, cold too. So what you will see in some of these MODs was a necessity. But before we get into all the MODs I’ve done to my 2019 Chevy TAHOE; I didn’t do all this alone.

The vision started on April 26th of this year (2022) when I was driving my friend Harvey O. from Las Vegas to Havasu, I saw a Dodge Charger with a stripe running up the hood, and I said out loud, how cool my Tahoe would look with a stripe.  By the time we got to Havasu, we had so many color change ideas we had to start putting things in motion – so we had started trying to tint the rear taillights – Grade: D.

I was encouraged to do the mods by friends like Kay and Tom A., John and Kelly K., and so many more that this was a project that needed to happen.

Several of my friends provided feedback which I bounced around, and some of it stuck. This is a tribute to their contribution:
• Mitchell S. – for your help tearing apart the back to put the top rear taillight in.  You were relentless.
• Robert S. – the idea to paint the columns between the windows to give it a continuous wrap-around look.
• Russ A. – sold me the amp/sub/box, then helped me fine-tune it to my taste after the install was completed. Russ also helped me find the perfect rims for this sweet ride.
• Mike M. – for helping me through the taillight upgrades.  We learned a lot, and panicked for no reason. LOL.
• Nick J. – encouraged me to forgo buying seat covers and go to Katzkin for a completely custom upholstery.
• Anthony from Car Toyz Audio – and his team for doing a clean audio install.
• Ace Tinting – for doing the limo tint on all-but “front seat” windows.
• Scott W. from Low Down Chop Shop & Kustom Paint who made my painting vision become reality, and took on a few extra projects like the headlamp housing replacement, underglow light installation, and is lined up with a few upcoming projects in the works.

Lastly I would like to thank my new girlfriend, Jamie, who has been so supportive and just as excited with me as day-by-day packages arrived at our doorstep.

I look forward to sharing my mod’s adventure with you, and hope you can find the ideas helpful.
