Roof Rails on my PPV - Regret!

[Asis03]

PPV Fam, here is an update on my PPV, did most of the updates suggested by the comments here.
Wanted to share pics of the almost final result.
I did add the roof rack on it, I think it took away from the PPV Look, if it weren't for the PPV Wheels and the spotlight, I would have thought it was a normal TAHOE.
I can remove the Rack and place screws with rubber O rings so

water wont sip into the cabin.

Looks awesome! I’m debating on adding Escalade roof rails to my PPV that are more flush with the roof. How did you add yours? Did you already have the holes in the roof or did you use rivnuts and drill new holes?

Hey AV, I used rib nuts from Amazon and socket head cap screws both are below.
I went to Harbor Freight and got a rib nut tool, aligned the assembled roof rack, taped it down and marked where the holes should be. drilling and installation was pretty much straight forward, get the right size metal drill bit as close as the rib nut, you want the rib nut to barely fit in the hole you drilled, then use RTV for waterproofing.

I also added an extra radio in the back with a front view camera with a push of a button like when the car goes on reverse, displays the front view cam, so back seat kids could see the road while driving..or tune the radio/hook it up to their phone. Along with a tow hitch.

The radio in the rear uses the rear door speakers and added two more speakers from a Suburban in the rear columns for 3rd row seat listening, they are activated by the flip of a switch, all / rear speakers.

What head unit are you running in the front?

What head unit are you running in the front?

Alpine iLX207 I believe..is a nice touch screen unit, no CD. Works well with iPhone.

Nice! That’s exactly how I did it, even down to the tool from Harbor Freight. Here’s how my came out:
