Excellent point. I'll be sure to do that. When I get them on, I'll try to take a few pictures and post them up here. Thanks again.

Put the chrome moldings they make alot of difference

JROD,

Very nice look. Is there any way that you could provide the links to the places where you purchased the... 1. Door side moldings 2. Chrome roof liner molding and 3. Tailgate step chrome molding.

I'm looking to add all of these very soon to my black Yukon and I love the way they turned out on yours!

Chrome door handle covers.....here they are on my SLT with some before and after images.

Also, the before images show the clear front driver and passenger windows while the after photos show a window tint to match the back (15%).

Bought the same set of chrome handle covers as TOI, and must say, they fit really well. The 3M they use is solid and they don't feel like they'd be going anywhere. On my order, the seller forgot one of the pieces and next day shipped it to me with no questions asked. Great eBay seller.

Like TOI, I too would definitely recommend these. For such a small piece of plastic, financial investment, and time installing, they sure do add quite a nice touch to the vehicle. Love em.

I'm bringing this one back from the dead...Just picked up a 2016 Suburban LT and really dislike that the running boards lack the chrome trim found on the Yukon XL and Escalade. Has anyone found a way to replicate the look without buying Yukon/Escalade running boards? I've checked out the chrome trim on Amazon and eBay like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-CHEVY-...ash=item2ef5a054c0:g:RhIAAOSw-jhUAY6K&vxp=mtr, but am skeptical that it'll hold up and look decent.

I've also looked at the OEM chrome trim pieces for the Yukon XL from GM. Two problems there are that they would cost $300 plus for the pair (just from the trim!) and the chrome trim running boards appear to have a different part number than the non-chrome, so there may be a fitment issue (although I seriously doubt GM made two different types of running boards just to have chrome trim on one).

they will fit just fine if you bought the oem chrome version. i replaced mine for the oem chrome since none of the chrome trim was holding up for long since they are always being stepped on. i found a used set on ebay for under 300 shipped.

I just purchased an Ltz grill, Ltz running boards, and the rear bumper step with chrome molding. Should have everything in next week. I also have the door handle chrome trim, which Ive had for a few months, but wanted to wait until I got everything. Will post pics once its all done ;) Im not a big fan of the chrome eye brows above the fog lights so Ill have to see how I like the Ltz grill without them before I decide to buy a pair.

Im also debating the chrome side molding but dont know if that may be to much. I cant find the Tungsten matched body side molding anywhere.

Where did you get the LTZ running boards and how much?
