    Did you do all the other parts while pn the vehicle?

    Yes I dipped mirrors, bumper, silver door slide as well as lettering in the back. While it was still on the vehicle.

     

    Use painters tape and newspaper to mask off. On the emblems make a square about 15 inches and spray emblem and body completely then about 30 minutes later, peel the dip off the body and it will naturally break at the line of the emblems leaving you a crisp clean look.

    I just finished a decent sized install including a head unit that supports 2 exterior cameras. The stock rear view is laughable so I ordered aftermarket. The day time view is real decent but night view is worse than stock. Anyone swap out their camera and really happy with it? I think I'd like to try a different brand etc... thx

    Nothing under the hood. I could see doing the firewall sometime but that seems like it would be a major pain. If you really wanted "lexus" quiet you would pull all panels and carpet and the entire dash and cover every inch. However..... " ain't nobody got time for that"!!

     

    No pics at the moment, I'll pull a panel and snap a pic or two to give an idea.

    Here is a list of items purchased and installed in order to vastly reduced wind and road noise.

    I dynamatt all the doors and side panels. I did not mess with the fire wall. This is a sat afternoon project that will take 3-5 hours.

    1. I wanted as wide of a sta ce as possible for stability while towing. It may not make a difference but we were looking at a 36ft trailer and I was looking for every advantage...

    2. I wanted the "aftermarket" look (in very picky) and I wanted to push the line as much as possible.

    The owner of my local shop is a good freind and he suggested we order the set and try the fitment of one wheel/tire mounted before mounting the rest. He called the manufacturer and asked them if the fit was wrong, if we could swap for a different wheel. They said yes. And sit it all worked ( just barely) her we are,

    Just installed 20's with a zero offset.

    Had to shim the slider. With no washers it rubbed hard. With 3 washers it "kisses". The door and opens fine.

    Tire type can change how this fits too. Some of the more aggressive tires have more "bubble" or knobbies on the edge of the sidewall than others and can touch a bit more than others.

    dynamat is easy to do, i bought two boxes off amazon for $65 a piece and still have a couple sheets left over. Ill post a link to the stuff i used..
    The panels come off ( just pull) in the cargo/passenger area..  the driver and passenger door you need a #10 socket and a screwdriver and a panel clip puller.  You might also buy a pack of extra clips, since one or two will likel break on you.  ( Ill post links)    so.......  I snapped a few pics at the shop today but it rained this afternoon/eve so I will get some better ones out soon..

    Update::

     

    Today is wheel and tire day.  I ordered a set with 0 offset.  if math serves i will just kiss the slider or maybe have to add a small spacer.

    (pics later this afternoon).  However,  in preparation, my buddy and I spent Saturday on the NV..

    Fully dynamat in every door and interior panel ( what a difference in road noise/wind noise that made)

    Plasti Dipped ( black) the grille, bumpers, mirrors, emblems.  all chrome gone/dipped 

     

    Next week is audio and video....

    4 screens, head unit, upgrade the backup camera and put in a forward facing camera as well.  probably upgrading speakers and adding a sub at some point too..   

    I know..  Pics pics pics....    Don't worry,  there will be pictures soon..
