Very nice looking Rush! Normally, I'm not much of a fan of the blacked/murdered look, but that really does look great!

I agree. I am not a fan usually either, however, this one looks fantastic.

Can't wait to see finished pics.

Very nice!

What are you doing with the chrome door moldings? Wanna sell them?

I bet those wheels with the black inserts would have looked good on there too!

Damn the front really looks bad ass all color matched black. Do you have the wheels that don't have inserts at all? If they do have inserts, I agree with Brandon you should get the black inserts!

Rush, I think you and I think identically. You're in NC, me in SC. You sold a 14 RR Sport for a 15 black Denali, I sold my 14 RR and am in the process of ordering a Yukon. You blacked out the grill and accents, that's on my list.

The grill looks awesome. Was there a reason you chose to paint the grill as opposed to using 3M covering?

Also, got pics of the finished product?

Awesome man... you'll love it a lot more than those boring Rovers IMO. Why the swap?

I wrapped over the paint. Looks OK... would recommend wrapping over the chrome Bezel--I'm going to strip the paint and re-wrap it. I wrapped over the fog light bezels and it looks amazing. I'm also wrapping the roof rails and the chrome strip on the doors. Painted the 'DENALI' logos gloss black and ordered 24x10 black/tinted Dub Skillz.

I have an patriotic apparel company and need to carry around a lot of gear at times. The RR has little cargo capacity and does not really scream Americana like a GMC. I also wanted to have a bit of a head turner for the type of customer I get. Mostly military, law enforcement, gun guys and Crossfit athletes.

I lease my cars through work so I get a new one every three years or so. I really struggled with selling the RR. I had a 2011 RR and traded it on a 14 I ordered months before they actually came out. I loved the 14 and had factory 22's on it. I had it for right at a year and put 19K on it. I sold it without actually ordering a new car because I was offered way more than I owed on it even though it had almost 20K on it. 14 RR's are just not available used so I got away nicely. I am getting ready to order a black on black Denali XL. I am actually renting a Yukon XL monthly until I get mine ordered and delivered. I wanted to make sure I could drive that big ass thing.

You are doing a lot of what I want to by blacking things out. I have spoken with a local custom truck shop. They want to wrap the grill, bezel and fog light area as well as the roof rails, side chrome and the chrome on the running boards. Since it's a leased car I could reverse it if I had to they said. I plan on a badge on the grill identical to yours and I like your idea of painting the Denali though so I willl likely go that route

Where we differ is that I am thinking of putting a leveling kit on it and going with 20" offroad style wheels with more tire to get an offroad look but haven't decided for sure yet. I was thinking of a two tone wheel with black and some brushed color... no chrome.

I'd love to see how yours looks with the blacked out chrome on the roof rails, etc. Any pics of that? Also, any advise would be appreciated?

What part of NC? I'm in Greenville, SC.
