Customization questions
So now that we finally have a 2008 Tahoe we are wanting to customize it, but not spend a whole lot of money on it.
As far as I know, my mom wants to add OEM chrome to the grille, handlebars, and mirrors. BUT she wants the lower part of the mirror to be chrome [like the Escalade], not the mirror cap. Where can we get a good deal on OEM chrome parts?
Next, we're considering changing the interior. Currently it has the ebony leather interior, captain's chairs in the front row, then the 3-seater bench in the 2nd, and the 2-seater benchin the 3rd. My mom really wants the Z71 grey and black seats, 1st and second row heated [and 2nd row powerfold benchseat, or captain's chairs]. Is that possible, and where can we look for them?
Also, she wants to find HID bulbs as closely resembling to the 2007+ Escalade's intensity as possible. Maybe her headlamps will support the Escalade HID bulbs?
Can power running boards be added on from the dealer?
Finally, I know you can convert the tailights to the Escalade ones, but we want the Denali tailights. Is it possible, and how hard is it [if possible]?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try these 2 for cheap oem parts & accessories: http://gmaccessoriesstore.com/ also http://gmpartsdirect.com/As far as the running boards go with aftermarket, they'll be cheaper and work just as well. My friend had these on his pickup: http://www.bestoppowerstep.com/index.php?load=homeAlso try ebay for the mirror covers, Putco is 1 of the better brands. Hope this helps.

RE: Customization questions
Sounds like your Mom should have shopped around and got a Tahoe that was more like what she wanted rather than trying to add some of those things after the fact. Unless of course she got a drop dead good deal.
