What have you done to your GV60 today?

[tabularasa]

Its is an expensive vehicle. I wouldn't mess around but instead find a quality sound shop.

Our local Best Buy did a fantastic job on ours, front and back, for $75...

I find my dashcam doesn't turn on every time I turn the car on. Do you guys see this? I believe they wired the power somewhere into the rear view mirror? I can get the dashcam on by pulling the power cable, and plugging it back in. Very odd.

I looked at that, but there doesn't seem to be much of a 'gap' anywhere along that path... Things are pretty tight along the side of the car (on the pillars and above the doors).
If you can post a pic or two, that would be great. If not, I'll try to figure it out... or not.

It's not a tough job, and not much that you can mess up - just running a line to the rear. As SoCalStinger said, a plastic tool is helpful to tuck things in.

A few images.

1. (stock photo from the web) ran the line from the front camera along the headliner at the top of the windshield
2. Tuck it in between the A-pillar and headliner and then into the rubber trim that runs along the doorframe
3. Tuck it in between the B-pillar and headliner
4. Similar for the C-pillar at the back to get it into the trunk
5. When I did my first car, I ran the line along the rubber trim to the middle of the hatch and left a loose bit dangling out to accommodate the opening and closing of the hatch.
6. The camera was professionally installed in the second car. It looks like they ran the cable into the interior ceiling at the rear and routed it through the existing wiring conduit to the hatch.

Wickedly comprehensive answer!! Immensely appreciated.

Not my car, saw this on an Instagram feed of a SoCal wrap shop. Kudos to the owner for creativity and installers for extensive job. It's like a Sao Paulo Lime inverse.

Debadged. Pretty much always debadge my cars, but it does have a lot of dead space now, so we'll see if I keep it this way long term. I have some custom badge ideas in the works too. View attachment 48416

interesting. How do you debadge? I assume they are glued on.

Two-sided tape. Use a heat gun/hair dryer and fishing line to get the badges off, followed by some alcohol to clean up the residue.

One of the fellas in SoCal on the FB group, he’s done the upper strut tie bar. He seems to think it’s beneficial, for the GV60 though, you have to cut some of the plastic covering to get it to fit.

 

[Guru0006]

I was considering the lower ones.

Who is throwing their 5000 lb SUV around corners hard enough that they feel they need the chassis stiffened by an “ultra racing” bar?

Not everyone can afford one of these but for some it would be nice to have a similar feeling.

Not quite an answer to my question. A lot of people occasionally stop light drag race - but who’s throwing their 5000 lb SUV around corners in such a way that any supposed benefit of this bar (and I’m skeptical of such) would be noticed?

 

[SoCalG90]

I have used these bars before on other cars, it really does not take much to get the benefits of these bars. Does it work on our cars? Who knows, but I will consider them. And what happened to the post talking about the bars? Posted against TOS?

Nice! I got very mild/legal tinting done a while back just for heat reflection, and I basically said "hey for an extra $50, can you run this wire?" Did the mount and fuse tap myself once that was in place for the openpilot/comma/dashcam unit

Do you have the Comma 3X? How is it? I started a thread on it.

Installed the Dynamic floating wheel caps today. Always liked those things on my other cars. You can see by the pictures they are a much more robust cap. Also they stick out from the hub a little, so they look like they could be stolen easier. But the strength of the spring holding them in, I tried, and I couldn't pull them out by hand.
