I have an 07 Denali does anyone have any before and after pictures with the roof rack I'm torn between blacking out the chrome or removing it completely 20151126_154036.jpg

Take the rack off when you're going for the sporty look. (low, fast, etc) If you black everything out, just black the chrome on the rack out.

I took the end caps off and the 2 bolts on each end but it's still not coming off, is there something that I'm missing???

There's a bolt in the middle that holds it down. You need to slide it forward (or back) and then you can lift it up

Thank you sir that was pretty simple, hardest part was one of the anchors popped out of the roof so it was difficult to get a 3/8 wrench in there to hold it while I unscrewed it fortunately it pounced back in

Decided to just black the chrome out on the roof rack with some plastidip

Looks good dipped. IMO the rack looks better with chrome if keeping wheels and door handles chrome. Maybe you just haven't gotten there yet. But still looking good.

No worries. I realized that after I read the next thread and saw your front end blacked out. Do et. If you get tired of that look, peel it back to chrome and a fresh look.

Ya that's why I went with plastidip endless possibilities and at the end of the day you can just peel it off with no harm, I'm hoping that it will protect my rims a little this winter if it ever gets here
