Awesome looking job. Darth Vadar and Batman would kill for this Armada. I love the black wheels!

love the screens. question, do they flip up when not in use? and also, about the nav system, does that have all the functions of the stock nav system. where is your stereo at now?

Nice!

You should get the carbon fiber pillar covers from burtman industries- they would look sweet with the all black scheme you've got going on.

thanks for your positive comments :D
the the eclipse navigation is all in 1, cd mp3 dvd navigation, i guess the navigation works just like the stock navi, also the monitors flip up when not in use. :)

Bad *** Armada. Love the all black look. Where did you get it painted at and how much did it run. I just got my Armada in silver and wanted to paint the running boards and bumpers. WHere is the sub mounted ? Thanks. lbckevin@hotmail.com

VERY NICE! LOVE the black on black look. I was wondering when someone was going to do that with their MADA! Are you getting a BLACK powder coated grille? THAT WOULD LOOK PH......FAT! PHAT! LOL.
OOOH, dual exhaust would be sweet too! :3d_004:

Looks great!
Are all of the black outs matched in Galaxy? (As opposed to black). I couldn't quite tell from the pics- did you paint the roof rack also?

Very nice looking Armada right there! Is there a specific way to apply the paint to chrome parts? I have been thinking of doing the same to the chrome parts I have but no body wanna guarantee there job. Advice will be great. :)

I am also interested in hearing how the chrome parts are prepared for paint.

they told me that the chrome had to be srtipped from tthe front bumper and was primered several times, the running boards was just sanded and primerd, same as the sideview mirrors, the rear bumper was just primered and painted, they told me that the rear bumper will not hit rocks and wont get chipped, the body shop also recommended for me to buy this item http://www.invisiblemask.com/site.html

they told me that taking the front and rear bumper apart was a pain, because of the sensors and tow hitch, they also had to remove my door panels to paint the front door handles, they cant really warranty painting plastic and chrome so they said that nextime i bring in my truck they will just charge me cheaper to get it repainted :cool:

Thanks for the info. Very nice. Having Galaxy myself, I am torn a bit on the Chrome vs. Galaxy (I don't like to say black, because if you get up close, it's not really black-black).
I am thinking perhaps painted billet grill, luggage rack and running boards and leaving the rest of the chrome as-is. Maybe swap the V part of the grill w/ an SE.
