2003 Yukon

This will be a slow and not-as-amazing-as-the-others build, but here it is nonetheless.

So far I've replaced brake pads, AC blower, alternator, LED interior lights and de-badged.



Before:


After:


Of course it looks a lot better. Will de-mold eventually. And apparently I need a 3M adhesive wheel? Hope to do more things soon!

I have an 03 also and have not debadged yet, what was the turn out of the paint after debadging an 03??

The paint was fine. After being covered for years I'm assuming it's in a better state than the rest of the paint.



There was some staining around the badges left, but I don't think it's nothing a good wash can't handle. I haven't washed it yet because I'm waiting to de-mold it first... Something I have begun!

Oh damn!



Got them from fellow TYF'er ezdaar.

Good stuff!

It sounds like your build is going to be a bunch like mine. (fix everything broken)

Hidden antenna mod!


I drilled a small hole onto this fender to fit a zip-tie in there,


then fed the antenna through this rubber stop.

Also, I did this...



Test fit:



Paint: I was thinking of accenting the letters black, but I'm digging the all white.



All that is left is to clear coat it and buy some new chrome screws to replace the old ones.

Also, any idea how to fix this?



As you can see, one is bigger than the other which leaves the plates uneven unless I loosen to screw a bit on the left one. I can't take them off because that is what the screw holds onto.

I got the license plate frame done and installed.
