Just wanted to introduce myself, I come from F-150 Online back to a Chevy...first SUV I've ever had though, always been a pickup man.

My name is Chris, I live and work in Birmingham, AL. Just graduated from Auburn University in May though, War Eagle!

Anyhow, here are some pics of the new ride:

Going to add an LTZ Grill and Door Handle Covers, and hopefully find a LTZ cup holder/center console insert. Anybody know where to pick one of those up cheap? I've looked on eBay but I'm not paying $160 for a cupholder!

Welcome, Chris!

My $.02: If you're going to go with chrome door handles, do it right and get the factory chrome handles and NOT an "overlay" piece.

Also, I think chrome door handles require some other chrome to go with. Yes, you've got the [polished] wheels, but I think the handles go best with chrome door molding, etc.

Are you a fan of the pinstriping on your truck? I don't think these trucks need/should have any, especially with the door molding. Too many horizontal lines. If you're not a fan of it, I'd remove it. Your truck will look instantly different (read: better).

Lastly, if you're new to these trucks, then you should be mindful of the fact that the wood grain between the Tahoe, Denali, and Escalade are all DIFFERENT. So, stick with an LTZ console cover unless you plan to swap out ALL of your interior wood trim.

Enjoy!

the escalade wood grain won't work either way, but here are the part numbers for the denali stuff.

Welcome! Beautiful car and I like the list of future mods starting. Keep the updates/pics comin! Also have you thought about removing the pin stripe? It looks much cleaner without IMO.

+1 on the door handle covers. Just go OEM!

all the Tahoe's have the same woodgrain if they do have woodgrain. Tahoe's have one type of wood grain. Denali's have one type of woodgrain. Then escalade is a whole different type/size.
