I started to black out my 02 black z71. I am in the process of either buying black moldings to replace the grey or paint the grey with gatorback. My black rims are ordered v-tec raptors.

I did a rust repair on the Driver side rocker panel

I replaced my front bumper and painted front, back bumpers and side steps with bondo truck guard.

My rear air had a leak, I capped my system off and now only have front air. It would have been very expensive to replace the rear air.

I hit every rusted area I could with chassy saver.

I need help on how to black out the rear lights? Any suggestion?

Any suggestions on how to black out the front grille?

My driver side seat leather is getting trashed, my best estimate to replace the leather is 250. Any suggestions on how to do this cheaper? Does anyone make a replacement seat that I could order and install myself?

I am considering a new stereo, something with a hard drive or that will play songs off my mp3 player.

Any suggestions that you all may have would be appreciated.

Easiest cheapest way to do the mouldings is paint them, can prep and I know its been done with krylon fusion. Look up DaRosa218 I know he did his in black, looks good IMO.

For the lights go pic up a can of VHT nite shades and some good clear coat (I always use marine outdrive clear), its a spray that any novice can do with a little time and effort.
