This is my first post here on TYF and I just wanted to see what others had done with their rear vents. Just need some inspiration! Post pics and give a little info if you can!!

A lot of people on here get the Escalade rear vents or the smooth vents and color match them.
Also welcome to the Forum.
+1 on this. Esky rear vents definitely look the best.

That does look really smooth. I think that's what I'm going to do mine. Thanks for the feedback! About how much will this run me?

how do the smooth aftermarket ones work w/o any openings? do they impair the vent's function? im looking for a set of caddy ones as we speak, theres a burban over here near me with gloss black escalade ones....the gloss black matches the glass and looks like the entire thing wraps around the back...truck is silver like ours.....so i cant decide if i want to do smooth color matched to silver or smooth gloss black...

Do they vents actually serve a function or are they just there for 'looks'?

no they actually serve a function. thers a rubber covered vent inside that allows pressure to escape. stand by one when someone shuts a door...or stand anywhere near one with huge bass going on inside and u can hear it farting...

then that would def sway me towards the opened up esky oem ones versus the closed ones.

Yep.. even stand there when you close the door... You can hear air escape.
Like a check valve almost.

im sure you could seal it up with dynamat or something. But i believe its there for a reason. Mainly to help with pressure when shutting the back hatch. Atleast that's what i was told a long while back when i cared about that being so annoying.

It should be noted that the vents themselves (the part everyone is replacing) does not have a function... its a cover. The rubber seal and all that is under the vent.
yes very good clean up of that so no one gets scared of swapping out the the vent cover.
