Hell all. Just want to introduce myself. I'm new to this forum and new owner of my 2011 Yukon slt.
I purchased my truck about month ago. Got great deal on it. then after great deal work them more due to previous owners used automatic car wash to beat up the paint with swirls scratches. (Good thing I know a good detailer).

So far I love the truck. Easy to work out of. And comfortable. As I am a private investigator and have to be in vehicle for while. I leaned to a Yukon as they fit in everywhere due to they are everywhere in my area. But passed few weeks I believe I made it not fit in. But I guess it wouldn't be mine if I didn't. Lol

So far past month of ownership I have done few things. As like most guys, we can't leave it alone.
Started out with getting it ready for work. And went ahead and put two layers of 20% tint all around. 50% on windshield with 5% strip.
Then replaced the low, high and fog lights with LEDs, wrapped the emblems (temporarily). Ordered new two town front emblem and did receive it. Just haven't put it on yet. Installed black Denali grill then had my painter paint tail lights and brake light.
Dropped truck of to my detailer and he began to do paint correction. Well that all changed when we decided to take it to next level and remove all the factory orange peel. So week long of sanding and polishing removing molding and emblems . Then moved to ceramic coating. And count to be happier. Then swapped interior bulbs to LEDs. Also changes plate bulbs and reverse bulb to LEDs. I installed hidden IR lights for work
My wheels arrived and today threw on my 24"ballers. And scheduled new box, subs, amp and inverters to be installed next week.

So my soon future plans will be
Intake
Drop rear to level
Second battery
Husky liners
Get tailgate and front bumper painted and ceramic coated
Wrap front bumper in self healing clear wrap.
Custom iPad mount
Stealth radar
Here are few pics (if I did it right)

Yes after wetsand correction with igl kenzo coating. You can see the difference in tailgate as that was not done. Have to get that repainted. As far as cost not sure what it was for just paint. We are not done with truck as I needed it to work so he will get it back. He needs to coat the rest of paint, windows, trim, lights and wheels. Then coat the carpet (as I have 2 year old). He is friend of mine and gave me a deal at 2200.
