Thank you sir. I don't want to hijack the thread but yea I could see them discontinuing them, they already did once. Just don't sell as well the grand cherokee so if we want 7 seats again in a few years may have to get a tahoe...

Welcome, really nice truck. Are those in channel window visors? what is the make of those?

They are EGR and the fit is really good. I like them a lot better than the WeatherTech ones I had on the Durango. I think they were $59 on eBay.

fat1--that Citadel is beautiful in the black! Yessir, we have good looking trucks, ha ha. Hope they keep the Durango because renderings of the upcoming "Grand Wagoneer" don't look promising.

saintsreturn--I do like the wheels. Been thinking about finding the same wheel in black chrome like I did on my 13 Durango but HeavyD suggested white wheels which might look really good-perhaps white with the alloy in combination.

Nice to know someone might use on of my suggestions :cool:

Lose the chrome and badges. On the doors. Just suggestion your choice mine looked the same when I bought it.

I'm sorry but de-badging and black wheels were invented by poor people and I will continue to feel it makes a vehicle look dirty all the time, especially matte black

I certainly am not bashing anyone's choices it is just my opinion. I like some black wheels in certain applications, I've seen some really nice setups with black wheels but they are few and far between and never matte.

As for de-badging, I think my issue with it is I'd rather go the distance and shave the door handles and everything. The TRUE clean look, everything else is half-assed.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have molded splash guards, side steps, tinted windows and a roll-x installed so I'm just an old man that tows a nice boat.

Well I think the chrome is awful!!! The badges are hideous advertisement.

I just put some AVS vent visors on and they fit poorly. The front of the front door pieces is a plastic tab that has to be tucked in between the mirror flange and the door. Causes a gap that might whistle or leak water into the door internals. The windows will not go auto up on pass side and when I raise them slowly there is a popping sound as they force themselves past the back plastic tab in the channel slightly. Also the rears are so short on the back side that you can only roll down about 3/4" before rain will come in. I will call them, hopefully these have been made wrong or something.

I ended up going with AVS Chrome Ventvisor's
the stick on the outside. I did here that the in-channel do cause some problems.

Thanks all for the compliments. I've now had it for 3 months and love it. RR7_905RAM pointed out an oddity on my 2015 Sport--mine has chrome surrounding the projectors instead of black. Guess they ran short.
