Wife's '08 Suburban LTZ Grocery Getter Project

[yates ™]

I removed my running boards but to me it looked like something was missing. I couldn't care less if the running boards even folded out all I want it for is so there is something covering the middle part.

The power steps would be NICE!!! Did that come standard with the LTZ's or just an option?

Option on all LTZ Tahoe, Suburban, Denali, Denali XL, and Escalade and Escalade ESV... I think it was an $1100 option?

Robbie -- How long have you had your Sub? And does it sit outside? I ask because I'm interested in hearing what you find in terms of paint fade/"ghosting" underneath the moldings. Can you check that out for me? I have a set of Esky chrome door trim that I'd love to put on, but I'm concerned about what I'll find under the stock molding. I have a black truck, too...

Thanks!

It was built in December 07, put into service with GM in Feb 08, and we bought it in NOV 08 (with 121 miles on it) and have had it since. We did ALOT of driving back and forth from FL to NC, snow and all, so the paint took a beating. We waxed it like once every 3-4 months for about a year, then it went downhill from there. Just got so caught up in life that we neglected it during our travels.

So... gonna go ahead and get professional paint correction (more money out the door) done and hopefully that will take care of our hazing/swirls, etc. But I will certainly let you know about what we find behind the stock moldings.

What, exactly, is entailed in the process of "paint correction" anyway?
