I don't think I like it either. I could have sworn I have seen some without it at dealer. Is it standard on LS too?

 

Yes, according to sales brochure, it is standard on all models.

 

The side molding is a definite. Otherwise it's just too much flat naked area.

 

Here is a link to my photo page (I am a new member here, if this isn't allowed, please advise)

It shows our Tahoe the day we bought it without the molding. We later added it because it looked bare and I was concerned about door dings. The LS models come with the wheels we have, no body molding, black door handles and mirrors.

07 Tahoe

 

after a certain build date all tahoes come with the moldings

 

aha
I thought I saw some without. The Hybrid for next year is touring without it too. We'll see if it actually comes that way. Pic from adkev:

I am not so sure about that, I stopped by the stealership today and everyone of their LS's did not have door molding.

 

Well 07tahoe is correct, the dealership must have some old LS inventory.

 

I saw a black LT today on the way home from work without any moldings and de-badged and it looked very cheap.

 

well addkev, depending on the package (i'm guessing no mouldings on lower end trucks only) i think your red tahoe looks pretty sharp-could be 'cause it's sitting next 2 that beatiful Ram in your driveway (hahaha, just joking both trucks look great). i've only noticed 1 Tahoe around my area that didn't have the molding on it. i think it looks nice and smooth that way, but i like the shaved look. to each they're own i guess, it'd b nice if it were an option though, it'd save u the hassle of removing it-if u so desired. add some really nice aftermarket rims & rubber 2 your ride, and your truck will definitely not look cheap.
