RE: Your '07 mods...
ORIGINAL: EscalonJon
I have the Greystone LTZ. Among the other common upgrades, my favorite was chrome door handles. They got more comments than anything else. They really gave the 'hoe that subtle bling-thing. They were a challenge to put on, but worth it. If installation of real handles seems difficult, you can get adhesive "covers" that probably would be hard to tell at a glance. These can be found on eBay. Also, for those who don't want to buy billet or chrome bowties for the rear gate, you can warm up the rear gold bowtie with a heat gun. The gold tie will come off clean and leave a nice smooth chrome "indentation" that looks pretty cool without buying another bowtie.

Here's some questions for the rest of you guys. Have any of you considered putting chrome or stainless steel nerf/side step bars on your Tahoes? If so, what brand seems to be the best quality (for sturdiness and longevity)?
Also, does anybody have their stock 20" Chevy wheels (with or without tires) for sale? I'm looking for a set. I got an LS model with the 17" wheels and want to upgrade. If you or anybody you know has a set for sale, hit me up (private message me on this site or email me at sn75@yahoo.com). We can figure shipping out if the deal is right.

Once you remove the gold bowtie, a chrome like finish bowtie remains with any holes. The gold bowtie along with the chromed plastic one are mounted with bglue or 3m double sided tape. The front emblem has the holes as it is mounted with studs and nuts. Hope this helps.

RE: Your '07 mods...
As another post in this thread mentioned, the chrome handles are a factory GM part intended for the 2007 Escalade or Denali. They list for about $45.00 each from the dealer. I got mine on ebay. I recall paying about $148.00 including shipping. GM provides rather vague instructions in the box with the handles. Most of the difficulty is in doing the first handle, which is mostly figuring out how things snap together and carefully trying not to damage things. All you need is a slim flat screw driver and maybe a dental pick for prying and 10mm sockets/wrenches. It took me about 45 minutes to do the first one and another 45 minutes to do all three of the remaining handles.
