Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

[Tonyrodz]

Front windows are tinted, did it in the most redneck way possible. My tint guy hasn't made it to town yet, so I swapped both front windows from my '07 LT. They are tinted 20% to match the back, and I am driving 4 hours each way tomorrow for an airshow in SC. I really didn't want to do the drive without tint, the windshield can wait.

Damn! You swapped the entire glass on both sides?

 

[NGAneer]

That ain't redneck, that's dedicated. Redneck would be to brush paint them with heavily thinned laquer.

Yup. Took about 50 minutes to open/close all 4 doors, not too bad a job really.

Couple of nuts after door panel off right? Is it still like the older ones?(older, older lol damn im old)

 

[NGAneer]

IIRC the door panel has three bolts and a crap ton of clips that feel like they're going to break. The bolts are behind the door pull and the door handle.

Two bolts behind the grab handle trim, one forward of the handle under trim. Pop the triangular trim off near the a-pillar, pop the door panel off. Start to pop the door panel off from the inner edge, it's much easier to start popping it off there by hand.

Got a center console, thanks for whoever was the first to tell me to be patient. Bought it off eBay, but got it shipped free ($350). It isn't absolutely perfect, has some wear and a couple of cracks from the wreck it was in.....but it blends in with a PPV with 180k on the clock.

Got my holster installed as well.

 

[RichardCranium]

I'll probably go ahead and order the leather steering wheel with radio controls, and a new clockspring since this one is noisy as hell.

 

[mr tahoe]

Try this one ?

 

[RichardCranium]

Try this one ?

Not bad, might be a bit too fancy for me.

I really like the feel of the factory leather wheel in my '07 LT. I'd probably get distracted with that Grant and start squeezing and smushing it in different places.....

 

[mr tahoe]

Lol you might be right

Friday project is planned......

What are you gonna do with that???

Granite countertop too slick??

Sick of having to spray tire foam on the dried out running boards to get them to look normal or new. Gonna solve that issue once and for all.

I have thought about taking mine to the guy who sprayed my son's bedliner. He gives a lifetime warranty on anything he sprays.

Sounds like a pretty good idea.

Keep us posted. You may be on to something here.

I thought about taking them to get sprayed, but figured it'd be $150 or so even if I took them off myself and to the lining place. I bought everything in that picture for under $50, figured I'd give it a shot.

Sounds like a pretty good idea.

I'll definitely post process pictures and keep you all updated, in case anyone wants to do it also.
