Ok, this may seem a bit mundane, but I swapped the cargo area light bulbs out for LEDs. They are a little brighter, and the color now matches the map & floor lighting up front. Next up, the license lights! No idea why GM didn't go LED in these two places. Everything else is! I'm also workung on a little under-hood cosmetic enhancement, but my job keeps getting in the way.

Had an Xpel bra applied. Can't even see it! That's all the excitement I have, Panther.

Hey man, that's better than nothing. If you don't mind me asking, how much does one of those clear bra's go for?

A friend of mine is a State Trooper.... When I asked him once why he would pull over a car that was speeding but going with the flow of traffic, he responded....and it is a great response...

The clear bra cost $850.00 front to mid fenders/hood, mirrors, front flares of rear wheel wells and door edges.

REVVIC....do you have any close up pics where the clear bra stops and paint starts? I still want to do this but the Xpel guy in Arkansas is about 75 miles away and I haven't seen any of his work yet-

Yes that does look nice. Do they offer a warranty if it gets scratched or something like that?
