Thanks!  He does do some nice stuff. Do you have to remove the factory insert and these replace it, or do these just overlay on top of the factory piece?

To the best of my knowledge its a full insert replacement

I ordered some Avery wrap from amazon, popped the bezels off and wrapped them! Took a few tries but I got it.

Do you have any close up pictures of the fog lights? Were the bezels hard to remove?

Out with the black mirror caps, in with the white :)

I can get some photos. They were a pain in the ass at first, once I figured out where the clips were that hole them in it wasn’t bad

I watched a bunch of videos last night on wrapping housings and I see it's a process but very doable. I'm gonna attempt it or might just plasti-dip them. 

I dipped my gmc logos and they came out flawless and I dipped my last sierras gray area at front bumper near license plate.  Never had a issue

Lowered her butt by an inch since I didn't want to raise the front anymore (small garage problems), painted the calipers black, tinted the mirror light and side of the headlight.

I bought it in July.

In July I added a Tonneau cover and wheel to wheel side steps. I also had 3M put on the entire front end.

In Aug I had a leveling kit installed and de-badged it.

In Oct I had my dash-cam and my radar detector hard wired and mounted.

In Nov I had the GMC cold air intake and GMC Cat-Back performance exhaust installed.

In Nov I put 20" rims and tires (had 18") and 1.5" spacers to give her a better stance on the road.

 

More to come :)

Nice! how's the exhaust sound? I might hear you beast around YYC.

Probably not mine you heard LOL.. I like the "growl" it has now but honestly it is not that loud at all. (louder than stock for sure)

LOL... I am sure mine do, I back into my driveway so when I start it at 6:15AM it reverberates off the garage door. I can hear it clear as day from the other side of my house LOL

My 14 year old son is sleeping in the morning when I leave for work, and he says it's his "abrupt alarm clock" when I leave haha!

But gosh that Borla just makes me smile when I drive? makes me want to find every underpass and parking garage in the city and rev that 6.2L V8 ?

I wish he would have had these before I made mine... Needless to say, I ordered a custom set from him. An extra $10 to do a custom design is well worth it to me!

I debated coming up with my own custom from him but I saw this combo and I couldn't resist!  Ordered immediately.  Can't wait to get them.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
