I really like the look of the Tahoe though I hate the look of wood panels for the interior. I'd prefer it to be blacked out or a carbon fiber look. What is the easiest and best way for getting rid of it? I'm guessing replacing it with other pieces can be expensive/ complicated?

Thanks.

The 2015 had a version that was a gray pattern instead of wood. I bought the two pieces for either side of console, now I just need the 4 door pieces.

^^where did you find these pieces? I am not aware of the gray look. If you purchased from ebay, they are pre production and never ended up being oem option.

I think it was only in 2015, Slate Rosewell was possibly the name, I'll look tomorrow and send the part number...

Slate Rosewell was the GM color. There is a picture further down in this thread.

My 2018 has the gray ones which I really like but I think dipping or wrapping them would be a better and more custom option and probably cheaper

Loving the grey color. I just swapped the grey in for my center console on my 2017 Denali. I have a door panel coming with the grey wood, hopefully its easily swappable from one to the other.

So it is possible. There are screws that hold it on along with clips. You can see I broke two of the clips getting it off. Need to be careful when removing.

Loving how it turned out!! Why the hell is this not an option from GM!? Pretty straight forward swap, rear door only have one screw. I don't think wrap would have looked as good in my opinion. Now to sell the grey/black door panels with my wood trim installed

Wow. Nice work. I wonder how much the 2018+ inserts are...I like the new ‘muted’ wood look....

I'm so doing this. Thanks cbraga for the update. Did I understand correctly that you purchased all new door panels? Or was that unrelated to this? I'm thinking just purchasing the trim pieces, correct?
