Unlimited Range Remote Start Upgrade for 2016 Mercedes C300

By

One of our repeat clients from Anchorage brought her 2016 Mercedes C300 to us to get a remote start system installed. She wanted to be able to start the vehicle from indoors and have it warm up while she got ready to leave. It was a push-to-start vehicle, and she wanted to be sure all of the factory systems were unaffected by the installation. No problem!

We selected a Compustar RFX-2WG15-FM combined with a vehicle-specific integration module from Mid City Engineering that provides plenty of range from the included remote, but also allows control of the system from anywhere she has her phone via the DroneMobile app. With this integration, one of the OEM key fobs had to be sacrificed to integrate the new system., but the Mercedes push-to-start ignition system still performs the same way, and you’d never be able to tell anything on the vehicle was ever modified.

For all your remote start upgrades, Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security has you covered. Stop by to see our team at the shop — we would love to customize your vehicle to fit your style. [95646]

Ford Ranger Upholstery Upgrade for Anchorage Client

By

Ford UpholsteryA client from here in Anchorage recently dropped by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security to inquire about upgrading the upholstery on his 2019 Ford Ranger seats. The STX trim-level pickup truck came with cloth seats in the front and rear, and the client wanted something a little classier. After looking at the truck, we worked with the client to choose a set of custom-stitched Katzkin leather upholstered seats that would look great in the vehicle.

Ford Ranger Upholstery Upgrade

The Katzkin website is designed to make it very easy for clients to mix and match different color leathers and stitching to create a truly custom look. Our client chose black leather for the seats and added coffee-colored wing inserts on either side of the center panel and coffee-colored French stitching for a subtle accent. Katzkin created the front and rear seats’ upholstery and sent them to our shop for installation.

Once the new Katzkin upholstery arrived, we scheduled an appointment to begin upgrading the Ranger. After going through our check-in process, our team disconnected the battery to keep the airbag system safe, then set to work removing the front and rear seats from the truck. We removed the cloth and installed the new leather upholstery.

Expert Upholstery Installation

The new seat upholstery kit includes the backs and bottoms of the front and rear seats, along with all five headrests, as well as the armrest in the center of the back seat. Our technicians use genuine steel hog rings to secure the new leather to the seats. Some shops take shortcuts with zip ties to speed up this process. Unfortunately, plastic zip ties or wire ties can become brittle in the extreme cold conditions we experience and can break. The last thing we want is for the client’s new upholstery to shift and look unsightly.

With the seats recovered, we reinstalled them in the vehicle and torqued all the fasteners back to their OE specifications. We also reconnected the airbag and occupant detection sensors to ensure that all the truck’s safety systems would function properly. We finished by going through our check-out procedure to make sure everything else in the truck was flawless.

Product Spotlight: WeatherTech FloorLiner HP Floor Mats

By

WeatherTech FloorLinerWeatherTech, the top brand in vehicle-specific floor mats, has recently released a new product: the FloorLiner HP. Like the original product, these mats are designed specifically to protect your vehicle from dirt, sand, slush and snow, so it looks great and maintains its value. Let’s look at what’s new and unique with these laser-measured, molded-to-fit car mats.

New Rubber Compound

The original FloorLiner products are molded from a durable and somewhat stiff high-density thermoplastic. The new FloorLiner High Performance (HP) mats are made from a more flexible extruded rubber material that lies flat on the carpet in your vehicle. This new rubber maintains the durability you’ve come to expect from WeatherTech while allowing for improved performance in the extreme weather conditions we experience here in Alaska.

Floor Mat Safety Features

WeatherTech FloorLinerAll WeatherTech FloorLiner mats are designed to ensure that you’re safe when driving. In vehicles where there are tethers for the OE carpeted mats on the floor, your new FloorLiner HP mats will lock into place and remain secure. WeatherTech integrates anti-skid nibs and a specially designed retention system into the bottom of the mats to help keep them from sliding when you get in or out of your vehicle. The last thing you want is a floor mat wedged under the gas or brake pedal. The beveled edge of the mats helps to ensure they don’t curve in and allow liquids to get into the carpet.

Environmentally Friendly and Made in the USA

The High Performance mats are made from 100% recyclable materials right here in the U.S. The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound contains no latex, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), lead or cadmium. When it’s time to retire them, they can be transformed into new products without harming the environment.

Of course, WeatherTech stands behind the mats with a lifetime limited warranty. If there are any defects in materials or workmanship while you have the mats in your vehicle, they have you covered.

Upgrade Your Interior Protection with WeatherTech FloorLiner HP Mats

If you have a new vehicle or want to protect your existing pride and joy, drop by Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage and ask a member of our team about the new WeatherTech FloorLiner HP mats for your car, truck or SUV.

High-Power Rigid Industries Light Bar Added to 2015 Volkswagen GTI

By

A new client who was referred by a friend brought his 2015 Volkswagen GTI to us to add a high-power LED light bar to it. He wanted to dramatically increase the light output for late-night driving to increase both visibility and safety.

Our technicians got right to work and removed the front bumper to provide access to where we were going to mount the light bar. We fabricated custom brackets to mount it in position, and then put the front bumper back on the GTI. The position of the light bar behind the grille protects it from damage and keeps it cleaner. We also flush-mounted a switch on the dashboard so he can turn it on or off whenever necessary.

For all your vehicle lighting upgrades, Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security has you covered. Stop by to see our team at the shop — we would love to customize your vehicle to fit your style.
