Street scene vent covers - side effects?

[Matt06Yukon]

Hey, I was able to pickup some street scene rear pillar vent covers for my 06 Yukon. Before I get them painted and installed I was wondering what difference these will make if any in regards to function. What are the vents on the factory plastic covers for? Any side effects to the street scene ines besides improved looks? Also, any tips for install? Thanks guys.

no functional difference, just looks.

I just got two pairs one for the wife's and one for mine.

Good to hear. My Yukon is black so the factory doesn't stick out that bad, but these should still look much better.

Arnt these the smooth ones? My question with that is how does it ventilate then? The escalade ones and tahoe ones are vented,and I would think that if it wasnt needed then they would have used the smooth ones instead at the factory!

no need to vent. it serves no purpose. there's enough air gap to let the air out of the vents that these cover

what exactly is the venting for?

there are vents behind there so when you close a door, it lets the pressure out.

I couldn't get them to fit right. Did you have any luck?
