Any update on this. I really would like to see some. The Bushwhacker site has the OE flares but not for LTZ. What is the difference between a LT and a LTZ that would cause the flares to not fit...cause I have never noticed it.

SW CT,
The difference is with the rear bumper cover. The LTZ one with the hitch cover integrated in it has a different body line as it travels up the side to the back of the rear wheelwell opening.

really? I though only denali and escalades had a different bumper

All 07+ Denali's and Escalade's have the "different" bumper, but the Tahoe LTZ did not get this bumper until 2009+

Mine is an 08 LTZ so I didn't get it but it's so much cleaner I ended up upgrading it...

Before I bought my 07 z71 I looked at a white 07 LT with lift and the Z71 fender flares and it looked awesome! Don't think it would look good with street tires though

Mine is an 08 as well...standard bumper. I am afraid that if I get them I will wish I had the CCM and Nittos back!!! The Bushwacker site has a LT in the pics that looks pretty good. I may try these...I really like the look of them on the Z-71. Looks more truck like

Here are some pictures that I found online doing an internet search. Please note that none of these are my photos; I just found them for reference.

If they are done right (color matched, installed correctly, tires that look good with them, and they fit the style of your truck) I don't think they look too bad. At least in these photos they don't.
