I am planning on getting replica chrome 22's and refinishing the headliner (which is next) I went to the scrap yard yesterday and got some trim parts to dye when I plan to recover the headliner in suede. I got the spares in case it doesn't turn out Here is what I plan to use, from my research this should be a match (or very very close) to the factory dark pewter Here is what I want the end result to be.

04palass Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I got an interior LED package from Ebay. It makes a huge difference! Then I got a 05 Trailblazer airbag swapped in and I ordered the "ss" horn decal with the proper font. Just waiting for that to come in. http://www.motorcityvinyl.com/silverado-circle-emblem/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matslp488 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 No bump stops are just for keeping the axle from hitting the frame.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting to find a deal on one. Looking forward to seeing how the SS Steering Wheel Badge looks, I’ve never seen anyone with one. I’m going to change my headliner to match the dark trim as well. Ready to see the pictures when yours is done! What kind of adhesive are you going to use on the headliner? I’m not familiar with that “SEM Classic Coat” you mentioned. I used Dupilcolor Viynl & Fabric Coating when spraying my dash & center console. It worked very well! It just can’t go without having a clear coat to protect it. . I sprayed the center console & dash trim with that Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric. It covered super easy & turned out great. I tested it out on an extra pair of sun visors to see how it worked with that kind of material & it looked very good. So I’m interested in the outcome of the brand you’re trying! I used that Dupi-Color Vinyl & Fabric to do a subtle two tone on the dash: Gloss Black on the inner section around the double din & gauge cluster, with Black Spiral Metallic to match the body on the main outter (This angel seriously exaggerates the Metallic.)

04palass Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Well, she's put away for winter ? But now that means its time for more upgrades! I installed a pioneer double din with android auto which I really love and a 10in Rockford P1 with a box made to fit under the seat. This was my first go around at car audio and I think it came out pretty good! Next its time to fix the saggy headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
