Interior trim swap question

[Khao5]

just picked up my 2nd yukon a few weeks ago . im not a big fan of the wood trim . i saw that you can swap it to the z71 trim pieces , my question is the z71 trim pieces the same as the brushed looking pieces in my interior already so i dont have to buy the full z71 interior trim pieces ? second question is there any difference in the yukon (mines a 07 SLT) and the tahoe s trims pieces that they wouldnt fit .

heres my interior for reference

thanks in advance

You wouldn't need the radio bezel (it's the same), but you would still need all the door pieces and both dash pieces

second question is there any difference in the Yukon (mines a 07 SLT) and the Tahoe s trims pieces that they wouldn't fit .

They all fit the same (Tahoe, Yukon, Denali, and Aluminum Z71) in your 2007. So as long as you get the 07/08 pieces, they will fit in yours. The only difference is the door pieces in the 09+ are more rounded.


Here's the part numbers...

I would just have them painted or vinyl wrapped. A lot more cost effective

I hated the wood trim as well. For $20 you can get any any color wrap and give it any look you want.

I hate the plastiwood trim too. It wouldn't be that bad if it looked like actual wood lol!

How did you wrap the center armrest trim? Did you remove ALL the trim or do some of it while it was installed? I'd like to do silver carbon fiber but that stuff is 2x as thick as regular vinyl.

most people wrap it themselves. It's not hard at all

If you wrap the center arm rest, you just have to pull off the inside lid of the cover and it'll come out easy.

OK thanks. I do full vinyl wraps on cars and I know it's easiest when you can pull trim apart so you can wrap it all around. Just curious how much of it people are taking off when doing this.

On the dash and doors they just clip in. The only one that screws in is the center console.

I did it myself, I just gently pulled off the pieces on the dash and wrapped them

I have not wrapped the armrest. My armrest is black already. I am still working on the 4 door trim pieces.

getting my windshield tinted on sat ill ask about wrapping the interior while im there they do that too, if they have a color i like i might just pull the trigger and have it done as well .

I'm not familiar with these vinyl wraps, where would I get this stuff?

I installed the Z71 pieces on my Tahoe. Install is pretty easy, be care full on the long dash piece, buy a set of interior trim levers from ebay to pry the old off with out damage. Then pass them on.

Man, I'd love to get rid of the wood trim in my Denali. Might give that vinyl a look.

Same here I hate the wood grain. Thinking of going with the carbon fiber graphite from 3m

swapping out the wood was one of the first things that we did. some were easier to find than others (eBay, Etc). in all we spent less than $200 for everything but the steering wheel and radio bezel.
