Waking up at 9 and going to sears
It's funny too because 2 nights ago I told my mom to get a new one because I had a feeling it would die soon especially since it already died in June

Hey Marcus, what do you recommend for the plastic running boards, to condition?

I have used normal protectant but it is sooooo slippery.

Death by running board is no good. I'm interested in what you use too Rege. I use normal car wash and a hard bristled scrub brush and even that makes it slick.

I forgot what I used but here's what I think I did
Spray lightly for about 3 coats on your front diffuser, back hatch and running boards let it sit for a couple of minutes then buff off with a microfiber and it should come out restored I'll take a pic of mine today I did that back in late june and haven't had to do it since

And you don't?
What would you guys do?
Option1-Black slides, black headlights, and a new grille
Option2-Matte white wrap with old wheels black w/ other black accents
Option3-Keep everything and do black wheels, w/ black accents and save my money

When I'm done it'll somewhat resemble 1SikYukons ride-http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25864
Just different wheels, more colormatching, different tails and a few other things.
