Picking up a 2011 White Suburban LT this afternoon... I've got a couple of things going on soon with the ride but if you have any modifications that I should consider please post them:

Planned Modifications within the next 2 weeks:

1. Clear bra (full front, hood, quarter panels, and A pillars)
2. Full overhaul of audio/video/nav (pics of build will be posted)...integrating wheel controls and as much of the factory functions as possible.

The dealer tinted the Sub already.

The lift out tray for the center console is very nice. And if you have 2nd row buckets, the console is nice for the extra storage and extra cupholders. Extended range remote is nice. Body colored splash guards work for me.

Nice looking ride BTW.

73shark...I am assuming those are all OE and can be had at the dealership parts dept? Thanks for the input.

If not at the dealer gm parts direct may have some of the items...
a nice cargo area catch all type mat might be nice and chrome grill inserts...

Agree, looks just like mine.

Where do you get the lift out console tray?
