I actually had your exact moulding and replaced it with the new molding and took off my GM emblem next to the lettering that say's 'Tahoe' to match how the new ones appear (like the red 2010 ltz tahoe i posted).. for some reason on the newest ones they decided to leave off the GM logo.. which looks cleaner IMO with just the letters

x2!! My dad just bought a new 2010 Silverado and I noticed it didn't have a GM logo next to his "Silverado" on the door. I was pissed cuz his looked better than mine! :lol:

I like the 2010 look, but Felix if you are going for that you need to align the lettering to the end of the molding. The T should be right above the edge.

Believe me I thought about that and on the 2010 LTZ's the lettering actually starts BEFORE The moulding. It really threw me off. I realize mine is staggered and starts AFTER the moulding, but after carefully examining a 2010 tahoe ltz, it looks like the stock itself is not even lined up (the moulding and words parallel starting with each other). I thought about moving them but I now like my staggered look.

Nope i'm right there with you... I hated the side mouldings that came on my 2008 Tahoe LTZ. The ribbed side moulding with the chrome trim (late 08 - 2009) and the 09+ flat moulding with the chrome trim are my two favorite :Handshake:

The moldings are great when going for the chrome look. I was gonna order Denali moldings when I first got my Tahoe, but once I saw the 09+ ones I had to get those instead. :D

And that is weird about the lettering. Maybe the one you saw had a factory mistake? My mom's Escalade lettering is aligned right above the molding, edge-to-edge, as well as my dad's Sierra. They are both 2010 models.

Personally, I'm a fan of my body colored side molding. It breaks up the "plain" body lines just enough but yet still blends in so I'm definitely keeping my molding but will get to my "Suburban" on the doors in a couple months :)
