Finished both appliques yesterday but, with a severe weather warning, the truck is stuck in the garage.

Appliqués look really nice.
Thank you, sir! I can't believe I waited this long to do them. I've got less than $40 in materials for both appliques and the bumper.

I couldn't agree more.....cept' a painter did mine.... I love the look of them painted....actually over Esky ones...which I used to have...

@OHSIXX

Curious why you went OEM to Esky to OEM rear appliqués? Seeing the OEM color matched on different trucks really makes a difference rather than the plain OEM black. Of course your garage queen is ridiculously shiny and clean.

And Knope's looks great.

Initial idea was to convert to entire Esky back with appliques and third brake light but then decided not to go the dark side lol. Decided to stay true to Yukon's original looks but with a slight twist...not many people if any would notice the difference but I like the CM'd look of the factory appliques and Yukon 3rd. And my garage queen isn't any shiner than yours lol. Unlike you -I have to wait another month before I can really make it pop with a claybar,sealant, and wax treatment.....then she will be where I like her to be.

Finished everything up yesterday. I still have to scrub some overspray from the bumpers, but overall I'm very happy with the end results. Here are some pics

Thanks. I'm holding off on putting the side trim on because I think it'll look weird with the stock boards. I'm currently looking around for Denali ones. If that ends up being too costly, I'll try painting the current ones white to give a Denali look. That will only be temporary though.

I saw this thread when you started it but hadn't seen it in a while til today! Love your prgress man! Truck looks very sharp! I'm still a fan of a nice clean white ride. Makes me miss my white 2001 Durango limited lol. Your rear vents look fantastic painted! I'm a big fan of painting those! Had my yukon vents painted to match as well and then decided to go the esky vent route since I have the esky roof racks and am in the process of getting everything set up for the esky third light. After running board are esky racks on the works?! Also like your rim choice too!

I appreciate the kind words. I've been thinking about the Esky racks a lot lately, but the price has to be right.

@Knope yeah price is always the deciding factor lol. I got mine fairly cheap off eBay. And the short wheel base racks seem to run a bit cheaper than the long wheel base racks.
