Looks great.
Can i just say I checked out their website and GD their seat cloth/leather replacements are pricey as heck.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I wouldn't say hard but the steering wheel spokes require extra attention. You are doing a "dummy stitch" around these areas and it can be a little challenging on how much tension to apply to the lacing cord since you want to keep it aesthetically pleasing. The first one I did wasn't as tight as the rest but I was able to go back and add a stitch for more tension to that area even though its still not as tight. I would recommend taking your time doing the install because you will not want to go back once you start sowing.
Linked a video I was sent by them so you can see a similar install and what they call "dummy stitch".

@Tyler Houseknecht Oh yeah I probably wouldn't purchase from them because of the price. I found seller USLeatherCarSeats on ebay to have a better price on leather. Listing below.

Yes I did buy from Richmond. Only one I found but I didn’t look hard. Waited till there was a eBay coupon and got it for around $76 including shipping.

Bingo.
Surprised it stayed on this long. I got home after the touchless car wash and started to dry it off when I saw the cap missing. Had a mini heart attack. Went back to the car wash and had the attendant there check the bay. It got blown off and was pushed to the corner of the wash bay.
So with another one of GMs lazy design. Theres no way to keep these from falling off unless you glue them. I was thinking rubber cement but that wouldnt hold up in the weather for long. Maybe something a little stronger and weatherproof from home depot. Something not super permanent

The Tahoe is finally in the paint shop and I have the first update!
The custom fender flares have been fabricated, roof rack and rear wiper deleted, a lot of the body work is done and it'll be ready for primer this week!
Here are some pics of the custom flares.
Here's a quick walk around video:
Sooo excited!

3M makes a weatherstrip adhesive that might do the job.

I’m pissed. Figures it would happen right before Christmas. Unfortunately I didn’t have comp on either one of these and insurance won’t compensate on them but will pay for my structure that fell on them with a 1000 dollar deductible. So I’m stuck with some pretty hefty repair bills on my own
Can't wait to see the end result. I have been looking for some big flares for mine but haven't found anything I like and nothing big. Would like to know what you used and how you modified them to fit.

Noooo not the z34
That sucks man. Tahoe too. But that lumina definately hurts
Yeah I had just redone the whole interior. I’ve got most of the roof repaired just two small dents I’ve got to get out and clean the broken glass and replace the back window on it. Unfortunately the Tahoe at this point I think is going to require a full paint job as it’s easier just to replace the fender and door rather than repair them. The glass repair on it I think I can do myself I can order a new one for about 100 dollars.

For sure! I'm chomping at the bit haha. But unfortunately I'm going to be in India when they finish, so I won't be able to pick it up until some time in January after I return.
I'm going to try to get some pics/video up before then, but I'll be at the mercy of someone else's camera lol.
