05Single's virgin build thread. 03 tahoe

[05Single]

Here was my order of parts plus some other junk. Black Friday sale..... I don’t wanna hear it. First of all it took 3 months before I even got the order. Then work and well now I have the time lol

Output of the fogs . In the driveway they’re aimed up for rotation adjustment purposes before I completely glued them together with the brackets. You can see the led switches are installed. Also the high beam is on but headlights are not in. These pics are just fogs only

 

[05Single]

The brackets had a small pocket/opening that collected water during rain or wash. So I drilled a release hole. While I had them out I installed the lamin-x yellow film . Wrapped the top part of the light with some black I had laying around for a different look. (I’m addicted to wrapping now)

Some output shots with both lows and fogs, lows only, fogs only.

In love with this set up

still no high beams hooked up yet. Have them hooked up this week

So @Thatsquishykid717 killed it with the led upgrade. Love how both our minds came together and made a one-off theme.

the ugly half lit yellow cluster is next. Should’ve been done weeks ago but between my end and Amazon’s end it’s been put off till recently.

Not me. I sent them out to my squishy friend
And yea I have all the time in the world right now so I’m trying to finish everything I’ve been wanting to do to the Tahoe.

So I wanted to paint the dash area by the cluster but keep it original color. I wanted the oem color but glossy. So I sanded with 600 to get most of the texture off then applied grip#4 adhesion promoter which is clear , then I could apply clear on top of that. but unfortunately the plastic didn’t take the grip #4 and it beaded up like water. So I resanded and used a generic grey primer sealer. Since I covered the oem color I went and found something relatively close to it as a base.

Agreeing with @Thatsquishykid717 a out how annoyingly bright our switchbacks are I followed his lead and plastidipped just the tip
Turned down the output quite a bit, but still plenty bright.

 

[05Single]

Well with the bright cob door lights you can barely see them .

 

[05Single]

Far right passenger vent wouldn’t close . The title plastic piece broke . Doubt I can just find that piece

 

[05Single]

Trim turned out good.

 

[05Single]

Got an idea and full sent it.
