Damn Nice to bad you don't live closer to me and could help me out with it. :)

I hear that. My neighbor just bought an 09 Denali and about a week later its got 26" 3/5 drop and a 15 inch overhead monitor installed. I don't think his wife likes me very much right now :)

Thanks man! What color is your interior? Tan? Light gray? I had a 2001 Denali back in the day and i converted the entire interior to Dark gray/Charcoal. Did the suede headliner but also did wrinkled/folded style sued seat inserts and door panel inserts. Came out sooo clean! I didn't do the seats or door panels on this escy because of my dog. Take here everywhere with me so i wanted the interior to be a bit more durable.

Here is the trouble maker her self LOL

I would definitely only do 2 colors max. Anytime you ad a third color in to the interior it ends up looking like you peaced the car together using donor parts. Just my 2cents :)

Wrinkled/folded is what you would find on a BMW or a benzo. The center of the seat and the door panles are usually done that way.

how did you get your amber lense out of the headlight? can you post a pic of the lights on without the amber? thanks

Very carefully LOL. You need to bake the light at a low temp and pull it apart. Then reseal it with some good windshield sealer. Ill have to take some pics and post them.

I see your point. I like black but if a 3 tone won't look good then I think a dark gray would look best seeing is how the dash is a dark gray. Where can I find a good quality dark gray fuax suede?

Gunna tackle this within the week if you could let me know any tips id appreciate it ... And what bulbs are inside

Take your time! Especially when resealing. If you see any condensation build up after install, reseal your headlight immediately as you will blow the hid balast that is in the headlight.
