So I started to do the cabin filter but mine looks different than the one in the write-up and I dont want to start cutting into the box until I know for sure. Here's what mine looks like.
Also, will 99-02 or 03-07 gmc tail light harnesses plug into 03-07 silvy junction block? I dont want to cut up another set of lights to fit silvy sockets.

I may or may not be selling my airaid tube becuz I want a SLP air box

That's what I figured but see how mine doesn't have a place to bolt the new cover to and there's no lip at the back to hold the other end of the cover.I would think right here.
Here is Brett's
hey Kyle :wave:
first I sanded as much of the rough, peeling clearcoat using 80 grit, then 220, then 600, then 1000.
then I degreased them really good using a simple dawn soap/water mixture.
once I had it down to a clean and smooth enough surface I taped off the reverse lens *(it's imperative that you get the lines cut as best as you can or you will have overspray on the lens)*
then I covered/taped the top and bottom lenses leaving only the yellow lens uncovered
shoot 2-3 light coats of tail light paint on the turn signal lens. spray from 8-10 inches away and do light coats, this stuffs shrinks and will cause cracks in the paint if you aren't careful. allow 10-15 minutes of dry time between coats
now uncover the top and bottom lenses leaving only the reverse lens covered
shoot 2-3 coats over the entire lights and allow 10-15 minutes of dry time between coats
once you are satisfied with the color/darkness, peel the tape off and allow another 10-15 minutes of dry time
wetsand the lights with 1000 then 2000 grit
clean and dry the lights
shoot 3-4 coats of clear allowing 5-15 minutes between coats depending on what clear you go with. my clear dried in about 5 minutes.
wetsand again once the clear is completely dry with 1000/2000 then polish them. I used Shine Supply classic polish on a cutting pad using my 5" griots da. I need to go over them again with a finishing pad to really bring out the shine.
here's a link to the paint and clear I used:
VHT Nite-Shades SP888 - Tail Light Lens Coating | O'Reilly Auto Parts
Dupli-Color Perfect Match BCL0125 - Touch Up Paint | O'Reilly Auto Parts
no problem :high5:
:lolwut: yours don't have any yellow? or do you want the reverse lens painted?
Yeah that peeling was really bad and 220 wasn't cutting it so I hit it with 80 lol. Why do you say that?
I started with 220 when I was sanding my mirrors and bumper plastics. I was cutting down the texture thought lol.
They did, this mod is to add them to the 04-07 that don't have them.
if you swap the harness the tail lights will be plug and play.
and i have the stock air box with a K&N tube.
