I like the rear trim, but I think that's just because I don't see it very often

Also, I noticed you put your front visors back on despite taking them off earlier. Personally, I want to get some for my Yukon some point soon. How come you put your fronts back on? Just curious.

I put it back on for functionality. I leave my windows slightly cracked sometimes, especially in the summer, when parked. The back ones are sitting on a shelf and I might not use them bc I don't like the shape of them- they dip down toward the rear of the vehicle. Anyway, I cleaned out my window track and used 3m auto tape on the front visors and now they don't rattle at all anymore.

Btw- thanks for the photoshop! My Yukon isn't an XL, not sure why I have the extra chrome on that panel.

Easiest way to tell is the real doors cut into the rear fenders where on the XL they do not :waytogo:

Just confirmed that with later models as well. Good call! So where does the extra chrome trim come from then? It's not an SLT thing. Perhaps part of the chrome package?

Thank you to all who helped steer me in the right direction. I got new rims today.
They are Chrome Esky 18's. I may dip them for the winter, so here's a pic....
P.S. I've also Dipped all badges back.

Ran out of daylite, so here's a pic to compare to my original post. I'll take some in daylight tomorrow.
These tires are 3" taller than my stockers, does that mean I'm sitting 3" higher?

Edit: no idea why my pic is upside down

Lol but I'm about 1.5" taller, no? If the tire is 3" taller, wouldn't I be 1.5" taller (half the height difference of the new tires)?

Thanks!
Yea, I have mixed feelings about the bug guard, doesn't it prevent rock chips and bugs from hitting my windshield? I'm afraid to find out if the paint has scraped off where it is mounted......

Bought Meguairs wheel polishing kit (pad attaches to a drill). Polished em up and popped in the blank centercaps........ Still amazes me at how these wheels completely changed the look of the truck and how much better handling is.
Next mod is the dual battery setup and some lamin-x gun smoke tints for my tails.

Since you tinted the tails, I'd do something about the amber up front.
