Spectralens PPV Updates

[spectralen]

I figured I would start a thread and add any and all updates as I go along instead of making new threads.
Yesterday I picked up a jump seat console for $100 at a local junkyard. It's pretty much mint condish.

I have been using a homemade armrest/cupholder.

 

[spectralen]

Pulling the seats were pretty simple.

 

[spectralen]

The black plastic wire cover thing in the middle wil not let the new jump seat fit on the studs. I saw where someone else put one of these in and had to trim the back side. I used the hacksaw to make a line, then dremeled. Fits perfect now.

 

[spectralen]

Not a lot of leg room, but a whole lot of storage and sweet cup holders.

 

[spectralen]

I also put on some civi pillar covers.
My inside door handle was broke, so I picked up a civi door panel. Much beefier. My switches won't on this panel and the guy gave me the switches with the panel, I'm thinking about doing vinyl wood decal wrap on the steering wheel, dash, other switches and around the radio to match.

I like it. Is the center seatbelt usable, or possible to do?

 

[spectralen]

It does.

 

[Lightning 95]

Good to hear. I always thought it would be cool to have a 6 passenger vehicle again like they had back in the day. I had the same setup in the front of my 08 Silverado regular cab, and thought why not in a Tahoe? Not much center legroom though.

@spectralen You got a damn great deal on that 3-cup jump seat as you have greedy sellers asking $300+ for them. Looks 100X better than the 'crate' you had before too. Rest of the truck's looking solid as well.

Seconded! Your interior looks great. I paid $400 for a jump seat on Ebay because they are hard as hell to find. Fortunately a local guy helped me with an inexpensive rear bench and free door panels, making up for the expense.

Does your roll sensor (thing in floor) still work? Was there any other way to make room for the jump seat?

Roll sensor? How does it work? The area I cut off was basically covering the portion that has 2 screws holding down the bottom piece. I thought it has something to do with the air bags because of the yellow connectors inside of it.

That milk crate console was pretty ghetto. But functional, for sure.

 

[Polease]

Looks like a pretty simple install. thanks for the pics

I was trying to remove the liftgate bowtie emblem for a more clean look on the back. I found that there are some pins that line it up and then adhesive. Because of the pins, I will be left with holes exposed.
Has anyone ever replaced the cover with a Yukon cover that has no emblem? Wondering if it's a straight deal with no issues to do the swap.

What about gloss black door handle covers? I see them on ebay and they are alot cheaper than new handles. I'm just thinking more gloss black than flat looks nicer.

Good idea, I wonder now myself.

I put billet bowties on the front and rear of my old 07 LT and they looked ok, but a bowtie-less rear would look good. Then again I've already got holes in my tailgate from the LED's that were installed, if I ever decide to get them addresses I could probably bundle it all together in the body shop.

If you find a fix and a cross-reference for a part that eliminates, tag me back in if you can remember. I'll keep checking probably anyways, I like watching other folks builds.

 

[spectralen]

I will try and remember.

I have seen those bowties in all kinds of colors, maybe there is a black one? (or paint it black?)
