• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

What did you do to your Telluride today?

I’m still waiting for my SX NF, but when I do get it, two things I plan to do right off the bat: 1) There is a place in Albuquerque called Southwest Dash Covers. They make exceptional custom-made dash covers. I have one on my Santa Fe and my Corvette.
2) I plan to install a set of Weather Tech floor mats and cargo area mat.

Looks great! Bet that color would look good on Dark Moss too.
 
Absolutely beautiful @Familyman20! Great job. How many coats? Looks so good with the black wheels.

Thanks guys. Theres about 3-4 coats on here. These calipers took a lot for the paint to finally stick and show through. May just have been the pearl paint too not being a solid color. Also the caliper castings were super rough, paint did not lie evenly so it took more work. Im used to using this paint on Brembo calipers but for me, one kit was plenty of paint to get it done. Just make sure all your prep work is done before you start mixing the paint.

Forgot to mention I also sprayed the muffler with high heat gloss black spray paint while it was up on jack stands. Couldn't stand seeing that giant silver can under the car so now it blends in with the rest of the undercarriage and you only see the chrome tips. 👍

Posts some photos of that too if you don’t mind sharing.
 
Washed all the bugs off from our 1000 mile trip home from Colorado dealership. Installed the VIOFO A129 dash cam, seat protectors for captains chairs(small kids).

How do you like that bumper guard? Was it an aftermarket add on?
It was factory ordered, and honestly if I would've known that we were gonna get this cargo mat that hangs over the rear bumper to protect it, I would've passed on it for our order. Its so slim I could see it working sometimes, but I'm sure you could still scuff the rear bumper if you're not careful. I had the stroller in mind when we ordered it. 20200830_215912.webp
 
If I can figure out how to make it look real, I'll dremmel out the rear left-side molding for the exhaust port, and install a fake dual exhaust. Then peeps be saying "a quad exhaust!?!?"
