Re: Suburban ?

Most were add on items, not really factory. The rear spoiler was made to help keep the back window(s) cleaner. It would change the airflow going down the road and keep debris and rain off of it, was its only function besides looks.

Re: Suburban ?

As far as the roof rack goes, you can get one off of an '07 and it'll fit just fine. I found one on craigslist up here for 25 bucks just over a year ago. Looks good on it too.

Re: Suburban ?

Mine is a Silverado K20 and it has the roof roack and rear spoiler. Both are getting yanked off at first opportunity. I lek the clean roof look on 2wd, and my 4wd will get a "man's" roof rack built for it. Something that might actually hold a bit of gear

Re: Suburban ?

Mirrors are stock color but have been upgraded to heated/turn signal as well. The door handles and estungeon on the tailgate are powdercoated "HAMMERTONE BLACK" and the tinted lenses are still within legal parimeters i.e. light must be visible from at least 800 ft behind the vehicle at night. and with all L.E.D.'s through out the vehicle inside and out, thats not a problem at all.

Re: Suburban ?

The wing helps keep the exhaust from recirculating
into the rear window while open.(Tailgate style, with roll down window.

Re: Suburban ?

Only time I've seen a wing was on a regency conversion at the junk yard but had barn doors not a tail gate and I really wanted the interior 4 bucket seats a sweet overhead piece with a mirror and wood all around but the doors were to expensive and the seats were all bent
