Blurred's 04 Tahoe Z71 build - Mr. Greenly Greenerson

[JonnyTahoe]

What also makes you mad is you probably just missed seeing it happen you were only in the store for a short time. I came out from a store once and a shopping cart was left one inch from my truck I would of just loved to come out of the store and see the idiot that left it like that.

And I just finished with some clearance hammering and cutting to make more room in the wheel wells.

Took the Tahoe out for a drive to make sure I wasn't rubbing on anything and that it was clear (it worked out great btw) and I stopped in to Autozone to pick up an air freshener for the Tahoe and some grease. Might as well get out and admire the ride height, I guess. Plus, I get to see if backing up grinds anywhere....

Anywho, come out after being in the store for about 10 minutes to this... And dude took off so I have no clue who did it. No cameras.

Now I get to talk to someone about the cost to fix the grille, fender, and bumper (starting to crack and come off from the impact)

Though it's going to drive me nuts that the paint will be good on one fender and shit on the rest of the vehicle. lol...

Might do some fiberglass "caps" on each side of the bumper, then paint the center section black, but that may just be too much at this point.

Might end up pulling the trigger on a widebody fender sooner than I thought...

My gf drives the Hoe 90% of the time and when she goes to the store, she always parks away from everyone else in No man's land. She's the only one there and by the time she comes out, there's always people parked around her. People are just so inconsiderate. I hope it doesn't cost too much to fix it.

I'm fairly certain I know the vehicle that did it, I just have no proof.

Talking to a custom body shop now. We'll see if I can get this fixed up right.

Tahoe is in the shop and I'm rocking a damned Altima...

Pulled the headlights so I'm removing the little bumps and reclearing while the work is being done.

They didn't get too bad lol... That was after I had done a lot of sanding on the left one with 600 grit... still did more to remove all the crap clear that comes on it though.

The clear one is the one I haven't touched other than de-nubbing them. I HATE those damn nubs.

 

[05Single]

What kind of clear to you spray on them ? Does it help with the yellowing?

I got lucky with mine. Circle in the lines for projector and no nubs.

It may help with yellowing, though that could be in the actual plastic. No clue there. Hell, I might just be sanding out the tint on them, though I want to say these are a tinted clear plastic rather than a layer of tint... which would be nice.

As for clear, I have used Spray Max 2k clear before and it turned out really well for the bumper and the cross bar. It's a two part that has a shelf life of 48 hours after you hit the primer/activating button. Also requires a respirator when you spray it... *shrug*

That Altima over there... never mind that Altima over there.

Damn skippy.

smoothed out the headlights and recleared - they look much better than the photo lol. That was the first or second coat.

Also picked up the rest of the console at a local pick and pull. Going to clean it up, paint the plastics and carpet. Changing the interior colors around so its a tan and mocha two-tone.

Gotta pull the center console from the tahoe and then mix and match the parts that work. also gong to try and pull the sub off the bose and and run it in a new amp. If that isn't good enough, ill probably pick up the jl audio 6.5 to replace it.

Saw that post on FB about the console didn’t know that was you, if you need a new liner for the console I’ve got a mint one

what piece are you referring to by liner? The little rubber insert? That sits in the bottom of the big storage compartment? If so, the one I pulled cleaned up really well and is in much better shape than i anticipated out to be.

Also, appreciation for the offer.

@95escahoe , appreciate the offer though.

And here's a small update. Going to be the best looking door and fender in Washington. Too bad the rest of the tahoe is going to look like shit now.

 

[05Single]

It'll always look beautiful in our eyes

And skip that bose sub and put in th JL. Mainly cause I want feedback on how it sounds in there
