The vehicle has so much potential from inside to outside from rear to lights to hitch to roof racks. The body also has a lot potential. Share your thought from rugs to screens to extra gadget to tuners .Are there an after market parts or tuners that don’t void warrenty . Your thoughts and pics do any consider it as a SHFT vehicle . Too tints anyone one got 20 percent is that the match for rear window to match front and anyone tinted the front with neutral or any thing else.

Yes on 20% front tints, as close as you can get to factory. I also added the GM Accessories splash guards. Otherwise, the tires eat up the paint, especially the rear bumper paint quickly.

I have 12k miles and no paint issues. As far as accessories go, I have the rubber mats, cargo mat, cargo shade, bin for the center console and aluminum sun shade. The sun shade is not convenient to use.

Wish I could say the same. I bought my Tahoe with 22k miles on it, and the lower portions of the rear bumper required quite a bit of touch up and polishing from all the stones kicked up by the rear tires

I had the dealer put the performance intake, borla exhaust, mud flaps, and kicker sub in. I do not regret any of these accessories. Should be offered standard in my opinion.

You might want to consider a catch can. Do some online research and decide for yourself, I've done it on two GDI engines - better safe than sorry. Also, on tinting, the far back, side window is a different tint percentage than the rear door so consider that when selecting tint for the front windows. I wouldn't recommend tinting your windshield - illegal almost everywhere, not worth the hassle.
I've also added a Volant intake and Magnaflow muffler - some HP and MPG gains and it sounds great. If you plan to keep yours for a while, look into having the paint ceramic coated - no more waxing, washes easily, protects your paint and shine.

I'd highly recommend a good bug deflector! The front of my hood always seems to take a beating, so I finally got the AVS AeroSkin deflector. It looks great (especially if you have a black tahoe)...it took a few minutes to install and has held up great!

The second would be upgrading the window tint (especially if you have the black interior)! I had Wincos' Premium IR tint installed on ALL glass surfaces! I did 10% on rear & back windows, 30% on front windows, and 90% on windshield/sunroof. You can't tell a difference visually on the windshield/sunroof when compared to factory, but doing all the windows dramatically reduced UV & IR which both protects my interior from sun damage while also keeping the car significantly cooler overall! It cost $714.44 out the door, but IMO was well worth the investment!

seat covers | weathertech mats on 3 rows | Weather tech mud flaps up front...Husky flaps out back (they were 1/2" wider than WT's) | Wellguard window vents (body painted) | DashCam | Leatherwrapped steering wheel | just had HIDs installed for headlamps and fogs (I can see!) | LED Reverse bulbs | Tinted Front windows (35% - perfect match to rear windows)

About to order a bug shield. I think the ppf is great but find a reputable installer and pony up. I bought a kit and tried to do it myself and it came out like shit.

So far, I've added Weather Tech mats for the front and for the cargo area (with the 3rd row seats folded down). Both are great additions. I also added an organizer for the armrest bin and that's been great as that space is just wasted otherwise. Next is some Husky mud flaps for the rear tires which I think are more aesthetically pleasing than Weather Techs. The paint is getting beat up so those are essential items as far as I'm concerned. I'll be ordering a K&N air intake kit from Black Bear Performance today.

any drone at all with the exhaust? I assume by Borla you mean the GM accessory exhaust system by Borla? I'd only get an exhaust system for my family ride if I would be guaranteed
there is no drone while cruising.

I got the following GM accessories and I regret none of them, perfect fit, functionality and added style:

-22" Premier wheels, the same as on the R.S.T but painted silver
-Front illuminated Black Bowtie
-rear Black Bowtie
-all weather rubber mat in 2nd row, 3rd row and trunk
-in the front I got Loyd Ultimate luxury black Mats ( I love the thick pile while driving with flip flops)
-Police PPV front deflector
-GM roof rails

NON GM:
Bilstein 5100 front set at 1.7" extra height and rear 5100
285/45r22 Bridgestone Dualer A/T: much softer tire than Standard H/T Dualer and love the look of the thread, very subtle but make a difference in my eyes.


I had german cars before mostly so I like the idea of OEM plus, trying to be timeless and classy, subtle.

No drone whatsoever in V8 or 4 cylinder mode.
