07-14 will be the same, technically they didn't make them for 07-08 and the colors changed (somewhat) in 09 so if hey make your same color in 09+, just purchase one from the dealer new. Go in there with a 09+ VIN and order it.
If they don't make your same color, purchase any one you want and you'll have to have it painted...

The newer ones are different as they have two extra pins (one on each side) that go into the bumper to keep it on there more secure. The older ones were falling off a lot so they slightly modified the newer ones. I know this because my 07 escalade has the older one and has dangled off my car before barely hanging on (so glad it didn't fall off) whereas when I added the LTZ/Denali/Esky bumper on my old 08 Tahoe LTZ I got the newer bumper cover and had to drill two small holes one on each side so it would clip in.

I looked for one for months for my 2011 Denali, and ended up getting it from a friend that owns a body shop. He ordered it for me at his cost ($136.00) and painted it for me ($50.00). It would have cost me $195.00 at dealer and would have needed painted.I need one in black, any out there? Not looking for scrap

you'll need to get a 09-14 and have it color matched (if your 07 doesn't have the same paint code as 09-14
Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL have the same hitch cover.
Just had my '07 Denali cover replaced due to a rear-end collision. Body shop didn't realize the little clips that hold it to the bumper were not included. I still have the busted one and want to salvage the clips (instead of dealing with the body shop any more) but I'm concerned I'll break them trying to remove them.
Anyone with experience or hints at removal of the clips without damaging them?

Interesting. They said they got it from GM...and that they used to come with clips, but now it's a separate order for the clips. Been a long story with this bunch...and I'd rather not have to deal with them anymore about this. Just want to fish the old clips out without breaking them and go on with my life...
As a follow-up... The old clips snapped out with a little effort and snapped into the new one easier. The bigger issue was the fit of the new cover. The contour doesn't match the vehicle bumper and requires some "wedging" to get the tabs to get in. Even then, it bows out on the corners and wants to come loose on bumpy drives. Anyone know if that can be remedied by either shaving the tabs or putting some heat to the cover to reduce the bowing resistance?
