Here's a detailed list of what I ordered and costs. I hope this helps!!

The original post in this thread was incredibly helpful for me but some part numbers have changed and some weren't listed.

I ordered everything from gmpartscenter . net (apologies to the mods if i'm not supposed to post links)

I went through two other GM parts sites and they were all HORRIBLE to deal with. GMpartscenter was so easy to deal with and I lucked out that they're local to me in Arizona at Van Chevrolet so I avoided a lot of shipping charges. I cant recommend them enough. The grill if ordered online will come with an absurd shipping cost so try to buy that local. I believe they only come in black and white but its painted from GM so no peeling issues.

The parts below take care of all of the window trim, pillar trim, mirror covers, White OEM color matched Grill, running board trim and rear bumper trim. I believe the only part I'm missing on this is the fog light trim. I ordered those over the phone and cant find the part number. The only other parts missing are the luggage rack trim, which cannot be purchased separately and you'll end up spending a few hundred bucks on those that come all black. The other annoying part thats been said countless times in these forums is regarding the eyebrow trim above the headlight. I removed mine, sanded, applied an adhesion promoter, primer, base and clear to it and then had it PPF'd. I did these parts in rattle can with the brand Spray Max. I ordered it online with the paint code and its a 99% match. I'm having the chrome trim on the handles painted as we speak with a body shop at a cost of $400 with removal, paint and install.

Window Trim and Mirror Covers - $714.74

Running Board, Rear Bumper Trim - $267.37

Grille - $366.45

Handles Painted - $400

Total Cost was $1768.56

I realize wrapping the chrome instead of replacing it is cheaper. I've had plenty of cars with full wraps and wrapped pieces and I've found that they don't last long with the Arizona sun. The value outweighed the cost for me to get OEM GM parts. I removed and installed everything (except the handles) so the labor was free.

The attached photo is just of the grill and foglight trim. I'll upload the rest when I get it back from the handles being painted.


I used this VIN 1GNSKCKJ1JR213294 its a 2018 Tahoe Premier (these parts below are not for esv, XL or suburban.. you'll have to find those)

does your rear bumper have the black trim on the new step pad you ordered ? or is it all just plastic without the chrome ?

Pull up on the lower trim and release it from the other trim piece by the mirror.

Here you'll find the same scenario as the rear door with the vertical trim piece, green buttons, and a rivet to be drilled out.

When installing the new piece, start by snapping in the two clips by the mirror.

For the upper portion, start from the outside edge of the door by aligning the nipple. Then work your way towards the mirror - pushing up to seat the trim. Pop in the two rivets and reinstall the upper and lower screws.

And you're done. Grab another beer, you've earned it.

I did black mirror caps too. I want to do the white RST grille but the white headlight trim is part of the actual headlight and the OEMs are super spendy. I suppose I could wrap them or get painted. Otherwise I'm thinking of aftermarket black headlights and a black RST grille. I'd also love to go lower but 1) I tow and 2) my wife drives it. I should also lose the giant airdam or get the police edition one. Work in progress...
Belmont, you're a Legend for this!! THANK YOU!!!

I have a '15 Suburban that I had wrapped and it's done very well. But now I have a '19 Suburban and think I want to go the RST molding route instead. This is tremendously helpful!
