Rebuild Vote

[GMCYukonDriver]

OK, if I get a check from insurance, then I can rebuild this thing however I want. Just wondering what you guys think. I'm thinking I want fog lights, and there's no way I would ever put them in the valance, so I'm thinking that has my preference, but I'm not sure.

Here are the options (sorry for the poor photoshops):

Put it back the way it was.

Colormatched Smoothie

Or a Z71 or Tahoe Limited look. Colormatched Diesel with fogs.

Last one. I hate front plates and I think the diesel bumper looks the best with a front plate than the others.

Last one color matched. And if you can, remove the front plate.

Front plate is CA required. I think that eventually I would look into frenching in a plate by cutting/welding and painting. That would be a ways down the road, though.

I dont know if it would look good for any of em. How bout the ones on lmc with circle fog lights n color match it?

Well, I'm going with the diesel with fogs. I have a line on a factory fog light switch, and I know a guy who makes lighting wiring harnesses.

I think it'll look good, just waiting for Farmers to be reasonable. They're saying my truck was worth $2600 before the accident. What? Are you kidding me? The interior is in great condition, it was recently supercharged, and the outside looked like this:

I could've sold it for WAY more than $2600 before the accident, if I had wanted to. This is ridiculous. You should see how bad this guy lied about the condition of my truck. He listed the dashboard as "heavily worn" and "below average" for vehicles of this age. It has had a dashmat for as long as I can remember. It has no cracks, gouges, or fading of any kind.

Well, insurance sent out an independent appraiser a month ago. Ended up getting it fixed, with no salvage title. Now it looks like this. None of the front end lights are staying, but they had to put back the ones I had before, and they couldn't find the corners. These are ugly IMO, but if you want them, they're for sale.

Sorry for cell phone pics. I'll get better ones tomorrow.

I tried to get them to put different lights in, but the shop was confused, even though I sent them direct links. Oh well, I'm still happy. The paint and body work is incredible, that's all that matters. I can probably sell the lights on it (with the cheap HID ballasts that came with them), and buy these for less. These were the ones I wanted.

Yea it looks damn good...

 

[GMCYukonDriver]

I'm going to go for a w/t bumper to get painted, so it looks like a Z71 or tahoe limited type truck, just GMC version. Then I'm eventually going to get the antenna shaved off the fender, and that should be it for the exterior, aside from little things like tail lights or head lights.

Thanks man, it's definitely been a process, and that 3 weeks in the shop felt like forever. Do you have any upcoming plans for the limited?

Ppppuuuussshhhh.... My baby (LIMITED) just barely made the cut... I was almost forced 2 sell her but shes gonna stay... But I've got a stockpile of parts waiting 2 go in... 411 swap is gonna get done this weekend, I just gotta pile the right parts and put those in first... Tax time I'll b buying that upgraded spider injector, gasket set, O2 sensors all 4, then hydroboost parts, then hopefully ill b done... But we all know how that goes...

Is it me or are the lights on the wrong side??? How do the lights look at night? If you want to sell how much? Those was one of the ones I was thinking about. Glad you got her back and looks dam good!!!
