Here is the start...
http://www.mbworld.org/forums/off-topic/374948-amgfan-2011-chevrolet-suburban-lt1500-build.html
I just picked up the Suburban today (after 2.5 months) and here are some pics...
Finally got the Suburban back...the only thing missing is the low profile KVH satellite dish (painted in the body color)...
BELOW are pictures of the front row of the Suburban...the bottom portion of the front dash are in suede. The door panels were done in leather with suede inserts. They also put LED lighting in the footwells and throughout the bottom portion of the Suburban...they light up and fade out. The steering wheel is a custom wheel from DCT Motorsports...it feels so much better than stock. As before all the trim pieces are finished in piano black.

BELOW is the second row captains chairs...The rear of the front center console was modified to house a center channel speaker. Between the chairs is a combination drink chiller/cigar humidor...also the floor LED lighting is pictured. The center console houses a gun safe. As with the front doors, the rear doors are combination leather plus suede inserts.

BELOW are shots of the headliner with the LED lighting and illuminated blue on buttons. The last picture is the blue illuminated power button for the drink chiller.

BELOW are exterior shots...with and without the new lighting. The added puddle lights that turn on when the alarm is disarmed and doors unlocked. I'm a Steeler fan so I put a stencil on the third brake light, so that when I hit the
brake Steelers light up...cheezy but what the heck...:)

I love your build it's very clean. The steering wheel looks sick and so does the custom center console for the captains chairs. The tail lights are the only thing that sticks out to me. You should consider switching to factory OEM escalade tails or the G4 LED tails.

Looking great Jon!
Congrats on finally getting the Burb in your hands. The suede/leather combo works. :)

the tail lights u have look kinda cheesy for such a classy ride IMO, as suggested above, full LED OEM style or G4's would be awesome.
also, lose the gas tank door cover...does nothing but detract from the clean truck.
finally, if i've ever seen a burban beggnig for a escalade/denali roof rack, its this one. that would top it off nicely (haha) but seriously, that would make a huge difference in it.

Great work there AMGfan ... that burb is beautiful inside and out! :waytogo:
Could you direct me to where you got your front/rear chrome bowties? I'm looking to switch from black. Thanks.

Soulsea...You can get chrome bowties either from stylintruck.com or lmctruck.com (where I got mine)....I'm sure they are also on eBay as well...

Sweet Burb! I really like the rearview mirror with the back-up monitor and radar detector built in, along with the puddle lights.
As suggested, perhaps look into a different style of tail lights.

That thing is tits! Looks like the only thing you're missing is bulletproofing it!
I'm curious as to what it cost you to do all of that...any ballpark figure?
