Installed new rotors and ceramic pads front and rear, painted the wheel wells satin black, got my wheels balanced with a lifetime balance at local Firestone.

The wheels came out nice, though there is a little bit of dust from bedding the pads/rotors. Very happy with how the car runs and looks.

Default Finally finished wrappping the interior plastic panels.

This was one of those projects that seemed like it was never going end. Took a lot of time and was extremely tedious.
Here’s a shot of the panels before reinstallation and the adhesive I used.
Sad part, most of the panels never really get noticed except for the door sill panels. Still have the A pillars to do. At least these will get noticed.
Definitely not a job you want to do as a favor to a friend. I now realize what a art it is to do a custom leather interior like what you see on West Coast Customs.

I love the backup cam, and plan to do that to mine. Can you get the pic reversed, so that it goes green yellow red?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it is green, yellow, red. As you back up and approach an object, first you enter the green zone (you can continue back), then the yellow zone (prepare to stop) and finally the red zone (in danger of hitting something). Do you see it different than that?

In the pic you posted, the red part is closest to your bumper. In all the factory cams I have seen the green is by your bumper, then yellow, and then when you pull into the red area, it starts to blink, buzz, etc.

Doesn't matter, as long as you know how it works for you.

I doubt that very much. I have three vehicles with backup cameras and they all look like his. Here is my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee's backup camera view. My wife has a 2013 Cadillac SRX and the view is the same as mine. If you have something different, please post as every backup camera view I've seen looks just like mine (and the one posted above).

I also have 3 vehicles (Corvette, Camaro & Traverse) and all 3 look like that (green furthest out, yellow in the middle and red closest); both the Camaro & Traverse are factory installed

Put 1900 miles on it to the Big Bend National Park (south west Texas) and back with 22 other Corvettes (Sam Houston Corvette Club) this past week. Had a great time.

What was I thinking....

I got to uncover it and pull it outside so I could access my four post lift to do an oil change on my Rzr. Then I had to put it back and cover it back up.
