Well, I respect your opinion, its just not mine. Are there any chrome parts your truck doesn't have that you would want? I've got stuff for sale. mirror caps, door handles, exhaust tips...in your profile pic it looks like you've got black mirror caps, I think the GMC and Chevy ones are the same? Everything removed with a few hundred miles on the odometer.
 
I got the Denali because that's what I wanted. To me Denali doesn't mean chrome, it means top of the line and luxury. removing the chrome is easier and cheaper than buying an AT4, adding 22s, removing the factory lift, and adding active ride control and power steps.
the red recovery hooks would be a wash since I deleted the Denali chrome ones anyway. I did like the AT4's Kalahari accented seats, but I like my Denali interior more (I love the Denali badge on the wheel in place of the GMC) and I never knew until someone on this forum pointed it out that the Denali has much more comfortable seats than the standard Sierra. I'm not sure if the AT4 got the longer Denali style seats or not. My wheels are the snowflake 22s, powder coated metallic gunmetal, wrapped in Toyo sport truck tires, and proud of it. They look great over the bright red Brembos
 
Wrapping the side steps was harder than it looked. I used my vinyl machine to cut strips of about the right size. this could be done with a straight edge and a blade also. trying to wrap completely (top to bottom) from front to back didn't work well. it was too easy to introduce bubbles. what I found worked was to start at the front and adhere the vinyl in the middle of the step only, as in only to the vertical surface, do not attempt to wrap it around the top and bottom yet. above and below there is extra vinyl. it will stay that way on its own. use a felt squeegee to work your way all the way back pulling the backing off as you go, keeping the vinyl under tension, and pressing it against the side of the step. then once its attached all the way go back to the front and wrap the top and bottom under tension around the curves of the step. use the sharper edge of a plastic tool to help adhere the vinyl right up against the step's plastic, then use a razer blade to trim off the excess. it took me a couple of attempts to get it right.
I completely get it. I loved the RST look, but I couldn't get adaptive cruise and hud with the rst. So I went with the high country. I need to get the door handles painted and delete the chrome around the windows. I have considered swapping for an rst front bumper. Where did you get the door handles and how much was the cost, if you don't mind me asking?
