Not really an update, but finally did a first thorough wash on her since the paint job. Waited till after Hurricane Milton passed thru. Lucky she didn’t get a scratch or damaged. Tornadoes missed us, so that’s a plus. Now just have to get a good wax/ceramic on her once I get a chance to claybar...
I bet if you go somewhere with a higher population you can find it cheaper. I know when I shopped around, the high end shops, which would have produced showroom quality triple clear coat jobs that looks like glass, quoted anywhere from lowest $4500 to highest $9500. But as with anything, youll...
Wow thats crazy. I dont mind at all. Im in South Florida. Fort Lauderdale. I took it to a local guy, hes like a maaco but a little better. Hes been there 35years and does good work. I did the 2K Urethane paint job he offers. Entire tahoe sanded down and prepped and sprayed. I had to pay a little...
I live in South Florida. We don’t get “real fog”. When I move north to New England next year, then I’ll be getting functional fogs. I usually do 3k yellows, which work the best for me. For now it’s just basically for looks.
It’s not just Chevy. My wife’s 2024 Honda CRV doesn’t have provisions for them, and the new refresh on the 2025 Civic Si’s did away with them. For some reason a lot of manufacturers are straying away from fogs, thinking the bright led projectors are enough. Imho it’s never enough lighting
So finally got a chance to adjust my headlight and fog lights. Didn’t realize how messed up the alignment was. Also found I had one led not fully seated :emotions122:makes sense why the lights pointed down and out. Anyways got the LED bulbs set right and the depo housings pointing straight. Also...
I’m currently working on cleaning out my garage. Once done then I can pull it in and attempt a ceramic coat. That’s not a job I wanna do outside in the sun or the elements. But it’s on the list.
Nah. They are cracked and tabs broken. I’ll be ordering some lights in the next week or two once I find what I like. Not a fan of a lot of the lights out right now. :thumbsdown:
110% needs a good detail, but I’m giving the paint time to fully cure before hitting it with the whole clay bar, polish, wax etc etc.
Next up is to address allllll of my lighting. Interior and exterior. Still have a lot of parts to slowly make its way getting installed. Slowly but surely she’s...
Once home I got to finally install all the parts I been collecting slowly. Had him color match some stuff when he had it for painting. So added this..
- Caddy D-pillars color matched
- Caddy power folding, heated, blinker side mirror assemblies
- Caddy Roof Rack
- Caddy Chrome Handles I rebuilt...
So a small update. Got her back from paint. Finally all one color again. The Florida sunshine does a real number on our paint down here. Especially with no garage. So here’s some pics of the process.
Before… She was beat up and the roof and hd swapped hood were horrible…..
Hood…
Roof…
I tell ya what, they are bright AF!! I put them in 2021, its 2024 and still super bright!!
These are them, and IIRC they are the same in my DRL up front - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NPIUFMM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Finally getting some time to get some stuff addressed….. like paint. The Florida sun has destroyed the roof since I’ve owned it. So hopefully this is a step in the right direction. Dropped her off yesterday. Hopefully will be a whole new chapter when I pick her up in about a week or two. Then...
