What did I do?
I finally drove it. My wife has had it all week.

I did install GM Vent Visors, which I may say look great, Not hillbilly or 90's at all. They fit under the rubber window seal, and are almost un-noticeable and cleanly designed.
I tossed in a set of LED license plate lights that were in my tool box, and that's about it.

It's going to my friends body shop to have an inch chop sawed off of the front retractable steps to allow fitment of the molded splash guards.
He has painted the bug shield to match, but that's an "I gotta see it first" before I decide to mount it deal.. Chrome mirror caps, and off come the 22" and a set of chrome 20" Denali wheels and tires are going on.

I'm going to have to see what you're doing before I say anything because what I'm envisioning is a big step backwards :(

Funny.
Trust me, nobody is more **** than me. The bug shield could be Unsightly, and that's why I'll have to look at it for a few days on the vehicle before I decide to go permanent. Usually body coloring them make them almost unnoticeable, and they have their advantages, especially in the winter when rock salt pelts the windshield and hood.

The steps? Those will come out perfect. My body shop guy is the best in the area, and he just bought a new 15' Escalade for his wife, and is doing the same thing. Once the flap is mounted, the gap will be perfect. Should have been that way from the factory.
They come off the truck, the front end cap is removed, an inch is chop sawed off, the cap goes back on, remounted, and now the end is out of the way which now allows for a moulded flap to be installed tight and unobstructed. Flat flaps rub..

No I never said hack job. I don't know you well but I think i know enough about you to know you're not going to let your ride be hacked. I was thinking more along the lines of the bug guard, going down to 20's and also the vent visors but those pics of them make them look pretty sleek. So the vent visors may have passed :) as big as these K2XX's are I'm not sure about going down to 20s but that's a matter of taste probably :)

I should have been more clear of "why" the 20" were going on..
Look where I live. It's the home of rock salt and calcium chloride.
The only reason going down to 20" is winter salt. Let the 20s" get salted and hacked. I was going to buy a set of 17" which would be better yet for winter driving, but I couldn't do that to a Denali.
Next spring, the clean set of 22" wheels go back on.

I'm guessing the bug guard has a 30% chance of making it on the truck. I'll post some pics before I make up my mind. You never know, it may look good, or hillbilly. Either way, it's worth a hundred dollar bill to paint it and see.

Finally found a pet/cargo divider that fit perfectly! I custom built it for less than $80...

Finally found an LTZ grill pop up on ebay, so I grabbed it. The swap was not as easy as I expected. Had to drop the entire front bumper. Not too difficult, just a lot of work because there are so many little bolts. Overall, I love the new look. I also started the fog conversion. Haven't bought the actual HID fogs yet, just waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig on converting to the stock headlight knob that has the fog switch. Off the cuff, it seems like a huge task, so I may just use a universal switch to operate the fogs.

Before:

I really like how the LTZ grill flows with the chrome mirrors and chrome side moldings I added too.
