Second Customization

Ok, so i attempted to put on the very first decal.. It's a little to left rather than dead center (not too too bad), but eventually I'll have it re-done centered correctly. For now it will do.. Hey, I was never good at applying decals anyways.. lol

Bad Experience With Decal Shipper...

Wow! realized that he didn't send me my chrome 3rd brake light decal.. So, I contacted him - he was such an ass! It was a good thing the transaction went through paypal. In the end he refunded me the money for the missing item.

But let me tell you, I will NEVER deal with him again! From now on, I much rather pay top dollar for an item with a reputable seller!

1st Set Of Stickers Came In

I received my first set of stickers/decals today from Custom Brake Lights.





Just wasn't happy with the rear window decal.. the mountains are not as big as I thought they would be.. They're more stretched and not tall.

I so want to put them on, but it's a little cool outside and I'm afraid they may not stick.. However, I think the project can start today by atleast removing those stupid ones I currently have - (that came on the truck when I bought it).. Hmmm, debating if I want to go outside and do that right now... Or if I should wait and do it all in 1 day.. but I don't see any warm days coming anytime soon - now that winter is right around the corner.

Guess I'll decide and let you know after I have made up my mind.. lol

Finally Registered

Yep, I finally got my Avy registered yesterday (woot).. Eventually I will get vanity plates - but for now normal plates will do. Still waiting for the decals/stickers to come in.. Hopefully they'll come in today..

My First Customization...

Today I removed the flames grill inserts..

Before
After
As you can see, the seller did infact fix the driver's side fog light and removed the shitty front grill guard bar - (although he did it the shitty way by just cutting it off instead of actually removing it by the bolts), no worries though - when I get my new one - It will be installed properly!

The Start Of Ownership

I've been looking for an Avalanche since New Years 2012 - (but wanted one since they first came out back in 2002 - who knew 12 years later I finally would get one).

I tried to find the right one, but those that were in my price range were all out of state... I finally made up my mind on the one I wanted to get down in New Jersey, but I got screwed out of the deal.. A second chance came around and saw another one I liked - (also in New Jersey), but at the same time the one I bought came up through the dealership where I bought my wife's Chevy Uplander.. Yes, we love Chevy's! So, to save time and money - I bought this one which was local to see, test drive and get.

Below, you will see the pics sent to me by the seller.

I brought it home after the dealer replaced the driver's side fog light and window motor as well as removed some stickers off the rear window.
