Questions about some minor mods

[JRC&Sons]

I want to install splashguards on my Summit White LTZ. Just looking around the web, the best I have seen so far are from the dealer. Looking for members that have installed at the dealer price and experience.

I am also interested in the second row center console. Is this a bolt down product or can it be removed as needed? I see a cost of about $350! Ouch! Any better deals out there?

Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure if you mean you want to know the dealer price or the dealer price w/installation. They are pretty easy to put on (I just slapped them on this morning), and I paid $40 at the dealer for them. The worst part about it is in order to do it right you really need to take the rear wheels off as you have to drill 1 hole in each fender well. If you had a really long drill bit you could probably drill the hole at a slight angle, but I wouldn't recommend that. I think the husky liners are the same way. I just liked the look of the gm guards better.

I got mine from the dealer, $78 front and rear. I installed them myself, very easy. I would follow Gambler's recommendation on taking the wheels off. I also like gm's better than any I have seen. Check ebay, I bet you will find a better deal on that console.

Uhm...

You don't HAVE to take off the rear wheels.

Yep - had all four on in about 45 minutes by myself. No wheel removal required. Get a philips tip (like from a power driver), and set it in a pair of vice grips, and use it as a right-angle driver with your palm applying the pressure required to drive the screws into the plastic. Worked just fine for me -- I was a little freaked out about the back at first too, until I noodled it through a bit!

Fun? Nah. Impossible? Nah.

You can do it.

1/4 " ratchet with a short phillips tip will solve problem and make for an easier install.
