yeah i normaly clean the wheel wells and use protectant on them, but the roads have been filthy the last few weeks so i have been too lazy to do it.:D

So here are some answers to your questions: roof rack cost- i am not sure because it was a gift the chrome trim- it is aftermarket and you can get it online thats where i got it. As for the size of it, it is actualy smaller than what comes on the 09. the TAHOE lettering is actualy straight...

I know its crazy how small they look even though they are 20's but i decided i wanted a better ride instead of big wheels

I just put the roof rack on yesterday and i think i am finaly done. Let me know what you think.

I used 3M tape for the bracket because i didnt want to drill the bumper either. I also took thin wire and ran it back to the tow hook just as a back up and to make it not rattle. It has been on there over a year and no problems of it comming loose.

I had the side trim put on at a custom shop and it is not like the ebay listing someone mentioned. it is a teardrop shape of chrome inside some flexible rubber. the crome is actually inside the rubber where that stuff is like a sticker on top of rubber and doesnt hold up well (had a friend get...

I guess the pin stripe is a personal preference, it was on the truck when i bought it and every tahoe on the lot had it. I have grown to like the pin stripe so i am going to leave it for now. Also i have had the entire car wet sanded to remove all the orange peel so if the stripe was removed...

Here are updated pics that i have just gotten around to posting. Still debating on a chrome roof rack. let me know what you think.

I had the same problem and the silicone lubricant fixes it. I wipe it on about once a month. Just spray it on a rag and wipe it down, if you get it on the paint, it is a pain to get off so be careful. The dirt on the rubber is what makes it rattle and squeak. They really should have made the...

The tahoe limited i have was badged at the dealer and had special parts installed there. It originaly started out as an LT and they added the wheels and the "limited edition" leather inside that was made by classic soft trim. They also had special chrome emblems for it too that go below the LT...

no problems, i think i am going to try and trim that passenger mirror, for some reason it looks slanted in the photo at the top, i didnt notice it before. Yes it is cold out here in denver, i wish it would warm up so i could wash the tahoe.

what i did was slide a piece of newspaper behind the mirror cover to make a pattern and trace it. then i cut it out and tested it. I cut the material with tin snips and this left a fairly smooth edge but a heavy pair of scisors would work, the material is not that thick. the jagedness in the...

Here are the pictures of the mirrors finaly done. I think they turned out great, but now i think i need the roof rack to go with it. The promoter came with the mirror covers and it was like a cleaner. it dried and then i stuck on the tape and it held extremely well. it is a 3m product. i also...

I just installed the mirror covers and the filler piece and it looks awesome!! i used adhesion promoter and it made the piece curve and stick around the bottom much easier. Its dark here now but i will post pics in the morning. The chrome also matches perfectly. This realy ads a lot to the look...

the mirror covers should be here today. I have not heard back from the auto supply place, but i will call them today and see what is up. I will let you know what i find out hopefully tonight

I have gone on ahead and bought the covers for the mirror, they are on their way. After experimenting, it looks like this will work so i am going to go on ahead and give it a try. I am not sure how thick the covers are, but they material is fairly thin. I was able to cut it with a pair of heavy...

I cut up the pvc material for a test. It works great!! i have photos attached of the filler piece. I do not have the covers yet to see how it looks with it, but i did take it over to the cadillac dealer and it is a perfect match for the chrome OEM. It is going to be necessary to use the adhesive...

so i found a piece of ABS plastic that was right around the corner at an auto design shop. When i got there they had something that looks like it would work even better!! It is a piece of chrome PVC that is extremely flexible and has auto adhesive all over the back of it. it can be cut and...

Well i now have worked on trying to find a manufacturer who could make a piece to fit the gap that everybody seems to hate on the mirrors. I talked with SES trims and they were rude as hell! they said they dont make the piece because it doesnt let the mirror fold. That is BS, i checked my...

Maybe this is a wild idea but has anyone looked into having a piece fabricated that would go all the way to the car? i know i want the chrome piece that goes to the car as well, but changing out the mirrors is not a great option due to price and difficulty. I am going to check into a few plastic...
