Finally got the Suburban back...the only thing missing is the low profile KVH satellite dish (painted in the body color)...
BELOW are pictures of the front row of the Suburban...the bottom portion of the front dash are in suede. The door panels were done in leather with suede inserts. They also put LED lighting in the footwells and throughout the bottom portion of the Suburban...they light up and fade out. The steering wheel is a custom wheel from DCT Motorsports...it feels so much better than stock. As before all the trim pieces are finished in piano black.

BELOW is the second row captains chairs...The rear of the front center console was modified to house a center channel speaker. Between the chairs is a combination drink chiller/cigar humidor...also the floor LED lighting is pictured. The center console houses a gun safe. As with the front doors, the rear doors are combination leather plus suede inserts.

BELOW are shots of the headliner with the LED lighting and illuminated blue on buttons. The last picture is the blue illuminated power button for the drink chiller.

BELOW are exterior shots...with and without the new lighting. The added puddle lights that turn on when the alarm is disarmed and doors unlocked. I'm a Steeler fan so I put a stencil on the third brake light, so that when I hit the
brake Steelers light up...cheezy but what the heck...

Bravo!!! That is a very tasteful job.

If I may ask, can you give me some details as to the type of LED light that was installed on the cargo door. We do a lot of camping and that would be neat way to illuminate the area when loading or unloading in the dark.

I'll ask the tuner house owner where he got them...and yes...that was one of my issues with the rear area...the illumination when unloading/loading is not very good. Now...it is perfect.

J.R.,

How is the stealthbox working for you? Does it cause any rattles in the console, cup holders or elsewhere in the vehicle?

Also, I was reading up on reviews on the 13TW5 and there were some negative write up about the sound quality. How would you rate yours? Was that space on the rear panel enough to get good bass from the 13TW5?

Would I feel the bass from your vehicle if I were stopped at a light beside you?

To put things into perspective, I am not looking for a ground shaking bass that would set off alarms for my SUV - just enough to spice up the music inside the truck. I am still undecided if the stealthbox will be enough for the bass I am looking for.

Thanks for being so patient with all my queries.
