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

[Fosscore]

Painted my rear bumper pads with Krylon Fusion for Plastics in gloss black and gloss clear coat.

Came out great. Ever stand on the rear pads? Think they'll hold up to that and the Florida weather/sun?

Thx man.

This is round 2 of paint. The UV will destroy anything down here so fast if you don't keep on top of it and that flat surface just gets pounded. You guys have salt, so my under carriage looks great though.

I only stand on the center pad to wash and dry the roof. The side pads will push down on the painted bumper and leave small vertical marks from the weight and abrasion of the plastic against the paint. You would never notice this with the OEM chrome as it is obviously harder than the paint. I only noticed it after color matching it. With your Denali bumper, the pad is on top so it is a non-issue. Stupid little things, but irritating when you see a small mark/scratch where is shouldn't be.

Did you do the top and bottom of these seats?
I tried looking on that website and couldn't figure out if you could just order the bottom part or not. The only thing I could find was a kit. I'm only going to replace the bottom section on mine.

For exact factory matches you can go to Richmond Auto Upholstery at https://leather-auto-seats.com or www.theseatshop.com and they will use your RPO codes to match the color. Mine came out perfect after scrubbing the upper part. I only replaced the bottoms.

I checked out theseatshop (where I got my foam cushion), leatherseats.com just had a better deal on black friday.....You have to call them to get partial sets (like front seats only) not sure about bottoms/tops independently.....Ill tell you what though, i know it may not be "exact" color match, but I got my color samples and scrubbed my back seat and it is VERY close...and ill say it is an exact match to the plastic.

I ordered my driver's seat bottom in pewter and it was spot on for $160. Have a look here in my build thread when I replaced the seat bottom, carpet and headliner.

Maybe some double sided foam tape or something for a spacer to keep the trim from pushing down into the paint when stepped on. Or just get a nail bumper

 

[Fosscore]

Good ideas, but any kind of spacer would throw off the plastic push pins located on the lower corner of the pad as it wraps around the bumper and tape would make it a hassled to release IMO. The fitment of the pad on the bumper is tight when the plastic pins are pushed in and no chance of it ever coming off. Just an OCD gripe about a slight imperfection on the paint. Unnoticeable to anybody else.

Cleaned all the salt off the big girl last night. Took forever because I did an underbody wash too, some nasty stuff for sure.




Also, here is an output shot of the eagle eye reverse lights in my new taillights. It's hard to get a good picture, but I think they do a good job for the money.

I would say probably my favorite xl on here. Love the stance and wheels. Just needs some denali heads and clear turns.
Of course love the eagle eyes. I think I might throw some on my plate as well. I wanna do the wife's car but I would have to drill into the trunk so I'm not sure how or if possible without extra metal work.

I installed the eagle eyes on the Yuk last night for the license plate and my god again bright as hell pictures will be posted tonight. I used a 194 pigtail to wire them up so simple then no cutting stock harness
