Ordered a set of the black grid with silver countersink pedals and floor kick plate today from Performance Pedals. They state 3-weeks to manufacture and deliver. They should look sharp with the black interior and floor carpeting.

Pulled the DIC surround and wrapped it with Carbon Fiber...

Damn. That looks nice!

Where'd you get the wrap from?

What brand?

How much?

Do you plan to do other assorted trim pieces such as the steering wheel and wood trim on door and center console?

I added Weathertech floor mats, and the GM chrome bug shield. That's it for today.

I was going to put in the bedliner, but they gave me the wrong one. It goes back tomorrow.

That looks great. I'd like to know more details about it also.

I also like that carbon fiber look. Did you wrap the original bezel or was it a new item?

Today I picked up the black touch up paint I ordered earlier from the dealer for those parking lot idiot dings. While I was at the dealer I also picked up the Chevy dashboard sun screen for the big black truck! Gets just a little hot in there on a sunny day - just a little.

MIke, I own a graphics company so i have access to a lot of cosmetic materials and the ability to do them cheaply. I do Screen Printing, Embroidery, and Large Format Digital Graphics (54” inkjet for signs, banners, posters, vehicle graphics, lettering and wraps). The wrap I used for the center DIC surround is 3M 1080 Black Carbon Fiber, and is about $4.00 a square foot. Compared to other vinyls it is pretty pricey, but 3M always is because it is the best material out there. There are other brands that aren’t quite as expensive but anything in Carbon Fiber is going to be pricey. If you go to my build page you will see the other parts of the interior I have done, as well as rally stripes on the hood with the same material. The DIC surround was the only piece so far I removed to wrap, all the other pieces were done in place. Here is the link to my build page, if you go through it you will see the various other parts hive used the Carbon Fiber on.

Max, I just removed the DIC surround bezel, I ran across a good you tube video of how to take it off, it’s really easy. Wrapped it after I removed it. Any of the other bits I have done were left in place when I wrapped them, because of the way this piece is mounted to the dash i wanted to get the material behind the outer edges. Check out my build page, there’s pictures of the other pieces done,

Somedays there are advantages to owning a screen printing, embroidery, digital graphics business!

 

Pulled the headrest covers off and did some 3D puff embroidery to them!

    • JW2024 and Others is this site for Oshawa built Trucks as well ? Thank You !
    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
