07Burb’s 2013 LTZ Burb Thread

[Geoffsfas10]

Have you tried to hit the bowtie with 2000 grit sand paper, then buff? Might work if they're just painted on.

I have not. I will have to look at it a little closer, that would PROBABLY work.

Glad the LTZ found such an excellent new home! Truck looks so good with the esky racks, G4’s and the esky third! Nice job with the suburban badges as well! Looks really clean!

Man, he did a great job!!!

Just out of curiosity, as I have never checked into it, what do they typically charge for PDR work?

I have a spot over my passenger front fender, that was there when we bought it, that bugs me every time I see it...

I don't have many decent pics of it but it is more noticeable in person.

I’m not sure what is typical but this guy was super reasonable. I had 3 or 4 decent door dings, a couple places on the hood and then the big one at the bottoms of both passenger doors that also got into the lower portion of the quarter in front of the rear tire. He handled all that for $400! Super reasonable but his overhead is minimal too so that may have contributed to not needing to overcharge.

That looks real fresh after PDR! Guy definitely knows what he’s doing! He did fantastic work! I need a guy like that out here! Lol

The Burb is back to spec and looking fresh. So glad you got that PDR done.

Me too! By far the best investment I’ve made up to this point!

updates?

Changed her oil (see the GMT900 thread) and she's running good.
Will be ordering a new set of OEM handles here soon to replace the ones that are currently on it as one or two are needing replaced.
After that will be new muffler for slight more rumbles over stock
This winter I'll also be upgrading the brakes with some drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads
The next major change/update to her will be in the spring or early summer when I'll lower her.


The progress on my "builds" are never fast or all that active. Got too many other obligations that require my attention so things just happen when they happen. Literally took me 5 or 6 years to get my 07 from stock to where I wanted it. This one probably won't take that long because it's essentially how I want it other than more minor tweaks and getting her lower. Then eventually I'll throw some 22s on her but I'm in no hurry for that because the tires on these 20s are brand new and these 20s are a good looking wheel.

Get painted handles. They look so much better than the chrome and don't break like the chrome.

Chrome goes better with the LTZ and having chrome rims. I had the chrome on my 07 and didn’t have much issue with breaking as long as I kept with OEM handles

Lift kit is still on...
