goodvibez Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yeah my truck originally was a bench in front and back, but then I bought some escalade captain chairs for the front. Then I bought some more leather captain chairs for the back and I have the subs running down the center into a custom built center console I built from mdf. If your talking about the cubby hole above the rearview mirror, I think you will have to do some bodywork but that would be cool! I know they make ac controls for the tahoe/yukons/suburbans that go up there but they only control the rear stuff. I did originally think about putting my smd gauges up there, and I still think they would look good up there but I liked this set up the best.

The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are! I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Really like the work done here. My two,cents about the plexi would be to go with ALOT less, or no tint at all. That's just personal preference for me, but I would like to floss the SMD emblem on those things and you can't really see it in the pics. Nice ork though man!

goodvibez Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I agree its too dark to see the white parts of the gauges including the smd logo, wich is why I will probably cut another piece and redo iy this weekend. I'm going to keep the darkness the same but I'm going to tape off the center so you can see the numbers a little better.

goodvibez Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hey guys i entered sotm this month and saw Steve posted this 6 Entries this month so far? I guess the prizes gonna start getting smaller. If this continues, then i might just cancel it due to lack of interest. It def. is not worth $150 out of my pocket to watch 5 out of the 16 say "oh well, i guess ill enter", like they had nothing better to do. Maybe we start doing this every 3 months and see if it is appreciated more. Maybe by January, it is just gone. I need you guys to show me you want me to keep doing this or i won't have a choice. So lets not lets not let this die! Enter your rides and vote! Feel free to vote for me, but there is allot of very nice and deserving rides out there I'm just trying to get the word out Quote Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it.

goodvibez Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) So trying out a crazy idea on the plexiglass for the gauges. That night shates paint comes off super easy with regular paint thinner/reducer btw I did one last coat with the washers off, and I'm letting the paint dry tonight then glue it tomorrow, I stuck it in front of the guges and you can see the white parts MUCH better after using some washers to tape them off. You wont really see the smd logo unless its daytime with them off...kinda like a screensaver kinda thing. I didn't realize the stickers were silverish they looked black before I took the backing off. Looks much better than black anyway. Also looks cool when the led's light up I know the smd sticker is not perfectly strait, it stuck to the plexi before I wanted it to so I was kinda stuck with it, and thats my only one so I dont hve another stencil. Maybe I'll have to hit up steve and see if I can't get a few more Edited September 19, 2013 by goodvibez Quote Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it.

goodvibez Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Anyhow I did get the newer plexi in and I'm lovin it the best! Basically the SMD is very faint and only seen in the daytime. I taped over the white parts of the guages so you can read the numbers and stuff better but its darkened alot where the blue shines through so its not so blinding and distracting at night when I drive Here's how it came out....saddly the d'amore sticker got a little messed up when putting in the plexi so I my need to order new one.
