I took apart the back end of my suburban due to an old water leak and I couldnt for the life of me get rid of the smell. So I pulled up everything, treated the floor for very minor surface rust, removed and cleaned the carpet and laid down lots of baking soda. Its all back together, not too pic heavy because I was trying to get it done in one shot. Some of the panels that came off, the huge wheel well panels were outside drying in the sun after being hosed down.

Nice truck Sarah! One day ill make all the money like you and be able to afford nice things. Oh man it looks like you live in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. I dont miss that about michigan at all. Or rust, I dont miss rust either haha

Couldn't agree more on the lack of branding at the GM tent. Also totally agree with the notion that when your actually at the desk about to write the check, looking at everything through a non bias standpoint makes maximum sense. Do they have the carpet liners in the front and rear of the new GM trucks, or just the rear or just the front? Last gen they didnt even put liners in the rear, just wondering.

The carpet linings are great for sound deadening! I have them on my focus. Tip for cleaning that I have found: Don't use a pressure washer on them! I did to remove salt and snow from my focus and now they're kind of coming apart. Oops. Now from a buyers standpoint the whole bage and paint trim for a few grand does seem silly. However, chrysler has done a phenominal job appealing to its fans by offering things like blackout edition, outdoorsman edition, Mopar edition, John varvatos edition, arctic edition, call of duty edition, glacier edition, motown edition, yellowjacket edition. Thats all I can come up with off the top of my head...phew! Anyways, the profitability of stickers and badges far exceed what they should, but they do sell suprisingly. BTW, I like my bow tie colored glasses, thats why I'm on the GM truck forum! hahaha! But I like all big three trucks, they're all sweet in their own way. Ford made having a V6 cool, Ram made coil springs perfectly acceptable, and GM stuck with rugged simplicity and a Z71 badge people seem to love...Go Detroit!

I think GM has made an excellent truck this time around!! You guys are finding super nitpicky things to complain about on this one. Carpet wheel liners and shifter placement? Not too bad! The last one had wavy body panels and trim moulding that peeled along with paint that chipped on the bottom and an odd three piece front bumper (Silverado). And I thought those were nitpicky things, because the 900's are sweet trucks. Now if only they could make the Black Op's edition a reality....

I'm thinking they're vented. Being HID's and having that much heat, combined with your clear lenses (not like my ancient ones that aren't completely see through) the vents allow for longer life of the lens and bulb. At least thats what Chrysler told me to tell their customers, including my dad when he bought his 300. The downfall to this would be the water spots that might accumulate behind the lens over time. Americans seem to be the only one doing this, neither european company i've worked for has started doing it. They always clear up real quick though.
