Black is definitely the way to go on light colored trucks. Having a colormatched bright pillar back there just looks out of place. I will be keeping an eye out for some black pieces.

My 'just replaced' vent covers and they have a slightly different top curve - shape.... I looked at an Escalade and they have an additional rear / top trim piece with the 3rd brake light... Trim runs the whole length of the rear window. Due to the added trim, the top vent cover has a slightly higher curve, and does not match the Yukon's glass shape.

Have you noticed that?

HiHo... whats the purpose for the window piece? ( I don't like sticking on something, just for the plastic) It looks nice, though.....

Just a design thing, I think. The 05 might have it, too. Only on Z71 cuz it's OFFROAD, ya know?! (I do like it).

My vent caps look fine in black, since my color is Carbon metallic, but I think even better if painted to match. Hard to tell the different shape on the top.

That looks good!!! I wasn't going to mess with Esky caps but my wife mentioned how she hates the vents that are on it now... My XL is also carbon metallic. I really like that color...
