: SLE Interior = Work Truck Wanna-be

Maybe it's only mine b/c of the vinyl floor, But my interior just looks like the work truck interior. Like all there is no cloth on the door panels(and in the floor on mine) The whole interior is charcoal and dull; Except the headliner for some dumb reason.
The only thing I've done is the trippin mount in the console. Is there anything to make this thing seem-dare I say-more luxurious?
I'd really like to keep my vinyl floor but maybe just some small touches would make a difference.
Thanks, Chris

Maybe find some door pannels that have carpet on them. My 05 doesn't have anything on the doors either. The foot well lighting mod might help.

Looks like mine does and I really like not have the carpet,or extra cloth, holds too much dirt and mud and harder to clean in my opinion

I had thought about that but they are both so expensive. I really like the escalade cluster.
I know I may put a door emblem on the pass. lower airbag panel ( I have seen a member or two who has done this). I just don't know if it needs to match the outside ones or just use the "Duramax Diesel" one.
Also: Has there been a year the center console lit was cloth? maybe even with the notepad on it. That would go a long way.

you could do some kind of dash overlay

I personally like it, wish mine had vynil floors, you could get some different dash trim to spruce it up.

I had thought about that. Add a little color to it. I like the ones I've seen that are light colored w/ the dark speaker grilles,dash panel,ect. I just don't think it would look good the other way around.
Guess a little chrome may have to do. :(

Mine looks the same execpt I have carpet. Maybe get some floormats that will break it up a little.

Lookin' for some with no luck. Not at an acceptable price anyway

I have a Catchall 1-piece carpet floormat that pretty much covers all vinyl floor. A used leather steering wheel would be a nice addition.

You should have seen mine (WT)...no power anything. Window cranks, doors need to be locked with key and mirror is manual, too!

I've seen where some people have painted their speaker grilles and it makes quite a bit of difference in the overall interior look. I've got the LT trim with beige colored leather and trim and it seems kind of bland to me at times too. Sometimes I think I'd love to have the vinyl floors for the ease of cleaning.

Sometimes I think shampoo the carpet would be easier than scrubbing the vinyl. Seems like it just absorbs mud stains

My 99 1/2 ton had this lid, but I had to have it replaced a couple times, because the carpet would wear out. It would do it were I would rest my arm on it

Yea the cloth did wear . But even the vinyl one in mine looks like it will be sort of pressed down like before too long
