Pete's (Now Nate's) 2003 Denali Budget Build thread

i got the two front windows tinted today. I chose 15%.
its dark from the side and evens it all out compared to how it was before.
Yet at an angle you can still see through it well.
i'm getting old and seeing through Limo tint is no easy task.

Looks really good. I need to get all of mine done by a pro.

ha, no photoshop on those.
i ran it through Lightroom though. where i can adjust all the levels of exposure, lighting, hues, saturation and toning etc..

so basically. this was the RAW image out of the camera

Beautiful. Amazing what you can see by simply looking up.

so, if you were wondering why my tail lights are back to the stock ones...
Once i installed the LED tails, a couple days went by then the brake lights (when pressed) started acting erratic and intermittent. At the same time i noticed my cruise control stopped working. So i went back to the stock lights, but still had the same problems. Tonight i put a tester on the actual brake switch connections and noticed it was the problem. Have to get a new one tomorrow and throw it in. My buddy said he thinks the LED tails were the culprit that messed up the resistance and ultimately messed up the switch. At least the switch is only like $20 for an AC Delco

You couldn't pay me to delete my rear wiper. I need it here in Michigan. Damn snow lol

I’ve had an suv for over 5 years now. First my Durango limited and now my Denali. And never once have I used the rear hatch wiper. On either suv. Lol. It just makes snow stick to it. And then the wiper blade usually freezes to the tailgate cuz it’s so close. Totally useless. I’m 86ing mine!

Denali looks good with tint! I went through tail light issues when I first got leds in the spring. It sucks. But mine was due to ****** made led tails, where they were each wired differently and worked differently. Lol. Gotta go name brand on leds so you don’t get problems. And tails with resistors already built in.

they said "error free" and had 2 big ballasts that came with them. i assumed they were "resisted". guess i was wrong. my new brake switch should be in by end of day. for now it's stock tails though

When your back window gets muddy from the slush and you can't see out of it? Michigan slush. Dirt, salt that smears and water/ice/snow... All that creates is a dirty back window that you can't see out of, to find out if someone is about to rear end you because they slid through our icy roads. I want to see my death coming lol

haha, i totally get that. i'm originally from the midwest and have had a few people slide into me on those slushy icy days. just staring out your rear view and knowing someone is coming in too hot, and you brace yourself!
different states constitute different customizable situations

I get snow too. And grime and mush from the roads. But Remember, I’m a professional detailer. Even if all I do is take a rag with some detailer spray, and clear the smudge, it’s much clearer to see out of versus running the stupid wiper that only covers a tiny portion of the glass, and even with washer fluid it just moves the dirt around. Doesn’t really clear it off. My trick is better than the wiper blade haha.
