for all of the interior plastic parts what would you recomend the most, paint, leather wrap, or vinyl wrap?

Thanks!

Depends on your goals..

IF you are going to hardly drive the truck like I intend to do when I'm done, and very few people (if any) will ride with you then you can paint it like I did and it would hold up for a long time. I can scratch my paint easily, especially with something hard like plastic corners against plastic corners...learned that lesson hard.

If you have alot of traffic inside your truck, I would suggest smoothing everything out and doing the color of your choice and laying down a clear coat to protect the paint. You can do all kinds of combos...even flat clear coat :waytogo:

There are some pieces you simply won't be able to wrap, so that's why you see the pillars, arm rests, air bag covers etc that are wrapped because they are easy to do.

Good luck, start a thread and post some pics up

B, what are you using to clean those seats? Did you seal them with anything?

I gently use Lexol cleaner/conditioner about every month. My driver seat is draped in a brand new white towel that I wash every so often so the leather basically looks brand new to this day. The white DOES get dirty if I dont use the towel man, I'm amazed at how quickly it gets dirty. Since I barely let anybody ride in my truck, you can compare the driver to pass seat and it's an eye opener how dirty it can get. That's why I use a white towel until I get some custom covers made with white material on the backside.

Damn dude, and how often do you drive it then?

So are you going to add anymore accents to the interior? What did you do to your center counsel? Anything special? I don't remember if you had it in there when I saw it or not.

This winter, I'm going to build out a 2002 or 2003 denali dash and center console with the same colors and leather pattern, I have extra leather from buying the seat package bc I didn't put in my 3rd row. Except for the aliuminum kick plates with TAHOE in white LED, I'm done with the interior man..already moved on to the outside with a rollpan, esky rack, hd hood...if I can afford it in March I'll build a SC-ready SIICK ass 6.2L

i love it.. how much cash did this set you back ...

All in all, with about $900 in brand new GM seatbelts - about 6k

Somewhere in the thread I posted this but that $6k is:
  • carpet
  • seat covers
  • paint/materials
  • seatbelts
  • vinyl
  • headliner
  • new windshield
  • new high end Wincos tint all around
  • 3m crystalline 70% on the windshield
  • 180sqft Dynamat (inside and underside, engine bay,hood)
    I think thats it?

These pics make me really wonder about why GM didn't offer a black interior in these years.

B, love the hoe man looking damn good. The quote is priceless. I swear when I get some wheels on the kon I want us to hook up and have few at bar somewhere. Just so I can check out the interior in person. Don't want my stock ass kon seen with your hoe until i get some wheels:)

I can hear the conversation now. " Look at that nice tahoe, but what is that parked next to it" I don't know but it's stock as hell". That would make a brotha have to get up and leave. Keep up the good work.
