LOL. I love mods. I know what I like. I just searched the shit out of the Internet for a z71 NBS and clean interior. Can't wait for the esky steering wheel and dash too.

The minute I got the vehicle I immediately noticed the gap. I had an 01 z71 many years ago and when someone backed into me and hit the top part of that bumper it pushed down and outwards creating that gap. Same thing here but no sign of visual damage. Mechanic that just fixed my water pump leak I had on it is coming back tomorrow to help me get a brand new rear bumper on and fix that gap. Also the esky rear vent appliqués, roof rack, and esky third brake light all came in. It's all WDT so gonna bring to shop on the way to the dmv to get it all color matched summit white.

I installed the esky third, rear vents, and roof rack. My esky third brake light isn't turning on even though the seller confirmed a pic with it turned on. He said I have to switch the wires around. But the esky and Tahoe harness only plugs in one way. Anyone deal with this before?

Looks super clean and smooth. Wheels are complementing nicely.

IMO maybe ditch the rear wiper?

You are already CM'd everywhere else other than the license plate lights, lift gate push button ring and wiper.

Just throwing it out there. I took mine off coz it looked like a broken branch and shows up on your white even more. But then again you don't need my mod input, your rides always come out as clean as can be and rapidly at that.

Either way it looks great.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looking good Felix.......did you try just taking 2 wires and hooking them up to the light to see if it turns on? That's all I got since I dont have an Esky third......

Contacted seller. He said when he tested it the wires were switched. I switched and sure enough it worked!

Esky dash and steering wheel on. Need to clean it up and take better pics but here's a preview:

Thanks Jacob! Pretty much lol. She was parallel parked at work and got in a hit and run. I'm pretty sure she's lying and she backed into something. Crushed the passenger side G5 tail and the rear bumper cover on that side. On the flip side it's getting the dual exhaust esky bumper which is and being painted right now so I'm kind of glad she did honestly lol.

:lol:

I did not wish my wife would have side swiped the Odyssey, but she did. On each of the 3 that we have had. And all on the passenger side. haha. Pretty much banned from the Tahoe at the moment.

Only would we wish our wives to "accidentally" bump something so we would have an excuse to make it better and not get yelled at for buying a new part, getting it painted, then spending long hours laboring over the tiniest detail. Bawahahah
