Some machined center caps with hand painted matching blue bow ties

I have been saying for years to get rid of those chrome centercaps that came with a machined wheel.

I know. I have not really searched for the center caps, but now you are forcing your wills upon me. Some ghost blue bowties....?

I gave the house the hairy eyeball today. Wife casually mentioned that the new owner who is renovating isn't going to give a second thought about it. She doesn't care. I know that and nothing I can do about it, so I vented here. You can feel my frustration. I will just have to correct the overspray and move forward. Grrr....

Build. The. Wall.

Oh the house painter. I was confused for a second. Yea I'd be pissed and make people aware. But most wont understand. They see cars as a means of point A to point B that's it.

I bet your insurance company, auto or home owners, would quickly get in touch with their insurance company and at least get a little compensation for a good detail.

This is the brake rotor after that short journey to the supermarket last night. Less than 1 mile away from my house and it is already cleaned off.

Yeah I didn't think it would take more than 1 complete turn of the brakes with the pads applied... but I didn't know if you had some special brake rotor paint I wasn't aware of haha

Get Trailblazer SS center caps and put blue overlays on them. Here's where I got my overlays for my sons Trailblazer.

No excuse now

But I blame @NORCAL SS for not offering center caps . Need different finish and logo options

Good price on the overlays and an extra one at that. Metallica or navy blue might be cool, especially on the embossed TBSS center caps.

Mid 70s and breezy. Perfect day to make this happen.

Still a ways to go but already looking good.

Now back to it.

78000 miles

Thx to @NeverSatisfied for reminding me about mileage.

Not monumental, but compratively speaking yes. And only about 13k since I took ownership in 2013.

I had been driving it since 2009 off and on for work from a previous employer.

A lot happened since 2013 for sure.

Boyyyyyyy you need to start putting in them miles! I'm at 187k!

 

[Onebad1983]

Good info on the white/amber laws and wide gap for interpretation.

There is more to the FLPD to attend to, but I try to be cognizant of their locations and drive conservatively as much as possible.

Sometimes still gotta put some punch into the BB! Lol

If these parking lights die, I will get a set and put those switchbacks LEDs in there.

I've heard so many things about BlackBear. I really need to get one

 

[Onebad1983]

Nah, I understand those lights are sealed leds. I've just only seen the other kind like this with the amber leds....

But now I'll keep my eye open knowing these are rare.

It's just that you never really take night pics with the lights on so I guess I never paid attention lol.

Those are the ones I have on mine

 

[Onebad1983]

^^This^^ I feel your pain man. Having no garage is why we keep the microfibers in our hands all the time. Detailing fruit loops FTW!! lol

I keep a microfiber cloth in my center console at all times

 

[Onebad1983]

After having a kind word with the painter about overspray all over the Tahoe on Sunday, I came home from work today to find a nice grit of overspray on my fkn truck again!!

This time it had sat too long to wipe off. Looks like I am going to have to clay bar the paint again.

Seriously?

I mean I love keeping the paint in tip top shape, but it was dialed in tight a couple days ago.

Now I have to redo it and not because I messed it up myself. Grrrrrr......

I would like to see your yearly bill for detailing supplies

Go with Metallica for sure. Lol
