Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

[Tonyrodz]

Front windows are tinted, did it in the most redneck way possible. My tint guy hasn't made it to town yet, so I swapped both front windows from my '07 LT. They are tinted 20% to match the back, and I am driving 4 hours each way tomorrow for an airshow in SC. I really didn't want to do the drive without tint, the windshield can wait.

Damn! You swapped the entire glass on both sides?

That ain't redneck, that's dedicated. Redneck would be to brush paint them with heavily thinned laquer.

Yup. Took about 50 minutes to open/close all 4 doors, not too bad a job really.

Couple of nuts after door panel off right? Is it still like the older ones?(older, older lol damn im old)

IIRC the door panel has three bolts and a crap ton of clips that feel like they're going to break. The bolts are behind the door pull and the door handle.

Two bolts behind the grab handle trim, one forward of the handle under trim. Pop the triangular trim off near the a-pillar, pop the door panel off. Start to pop the door panel off from the inner edge, it's much easier to start popping it off there by hand.

Got a center console, thanks for whoever was the first to tell me to be patient. Bought it off eBay, but got it shipped free ($350). It isn't absolutely perfect, has some wear and a couple of cracks from the wreck it was in.....but it blends in with a PPV with 180k on the clock.

Got my holster installed as well.

I'll probably go ahead and order the leather steering wheel with radio controls, and a new clockspring since this one is noisy as hell.

 

[mr tahoe]

Try this one ?

Not bad, might be a bit too fancy for me.

I really like the feel of the factory leather wheel in my '07 LT. I'd probably get distracted with that Grant and start squeezing and smushing it in different places.....
