What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Painted my rear seat with SEM looks 100% better now have to do the other side.
Why did I paint my seats you might ask, well that's a long story.

When I got the truck the drivers bottom was ripped and the passenger bottom was close to it. I knew a detail/paint correction, kinda do it all guy who said he could fix the seats - yeah this is where it all went wrong.

So I go to pick it up and he replaced the drivers cover and used basically a type of bondo for leather on the passengers seat, the kicker was he says you can't get the original color int dye so he had to "custom" mix some dye....
So the color was close but has too much blue in it and now if I change any part the color won't match hence why I am painting the rear because yes he painted the rear to match the front. Plus I am sure he used paint which is why the drivers seat didn't last a year before cracking and the top cover is cracking as well.
So when I redo the leather on the front I will also need to fix all the overspray on the plastic molding pieces as well.

Depending on what product he used on the seats it doesn't last. Also the repair on the seat won't last either. I used to repair seats for dealers. They still sell the exact leather colors for the NBS. Did you use SEM products?
Here's the kind of stuff I used to do.

Bought a replacement set of rear lines. When the rearend was replaced the mechanic must've broke one and neglected to tell me. He replaced it with a stock rubber brake line. That's just unacceptable. Didn't even tell me he broke mine.

Just to clarify on the term "Painted". Seats should be dyed, not painted. Hopefully the color won't flake off.

I changed the abs wheel speed sensor that I messed up and forgot to tie it back so it rubbed through the wire. Yay no more abs light.

I need to fuel up and wash the wife’s 04. And replace the parking brake release handle. I’ll see if I can get to that tonight. It’s getting cold.

Got it fueled up and washed. I’ll attempt the parking brake handle/cable tomorrow.

Was it a GM hub or aftermarket? I'm having a similar issue. I found out you can't use an GM abs sensor in an aftermarket hub, and same other way around. Sensors won't work.
