Hows your build going? The before and after shot!

[victx87]

Hi! I have limo tint all around. So is the darkest it goes. I don't think it should affect the HUD. Is always exciting when you do mods to your vehicle. Cant wait to see what you do to your Telluride

How are you liking the 5% tint on your front 2 windows? Did you also do 5% on top of the rears or was it just 15% added to the existing privacy glass?

I'm still debating on doing 5 or 15% for the fronts, but I still want to have some visibility at night.

The front 2 windows are super dark. But is just a matter of you getting used to it. The visibility at night does seem to get very dark. So just be very cautious of that. But the look looks great! Yes 5% was added on top of the rear windows. So all windows are blacked out except for the front windshield.

The cross bars were the last addition and they just came in last week. I have used Thule and Yakima bars and accessories for all my current/previous vehicles so that was my first choice. I had picked out the Thule AeroBlade but discovered that they discontinued the Fit Kit for the Telluride. So after returning the bars back to REI I ordered these cross bars off Amazon for a fraction of the cost and they did everything I asked of them. The SkyBox fit perfectly and was pretty loaded down with skis, poles and duffel bags. I'm going to purchase a KAC K4 Overdrive bike rack (I have a Super 73 S2 eBike that requires a beefier rack) next for the tow hitch.

Can you tell me how you learned they were discontinued?

I'm in the same boat as you were in -- I decided I loved the Aeroblade but now can't find the fitkit anywhere. I spoke with someone at Thule who was nice but not that helpful, he simply said demand exceeds supply and they don't know when they will get more in stock, but he didn't say it was discontinued. I can't believe they are making me work so hard to give them my money!

1 day owner
Car came with roof rack and cross bars.
Installed running boards, mud guards, weathertech floor mats/trunk liner, and car seat gap fillers.
All parts found on this forum! Thank you all.
Next week: matching tint on front windows....

Hi - love the look. did you install the running boards and mud flaps yourself? Are they OEM mud flaps or Weather Tech?
Thanks!

Seriously. I thought the same thing. For upwards of $500 you'd think Thule would come out and install them for me. I talked to Rack Attack here in Denver and then Thule direct. Both confirmed for me that it was discontinued. Now, for how long it's discontinued, I'm not sure because I never thought to ask. I assumed discontinued meant that they stopped making it.

It actually worked out for the best IMO. I returned the cross bars to REI and got a sweet refund and these bars from Amazon have been rock solid. Good luck. It's a hassle I know. I hope you find a solution that works for you.

Well well well. The bug finally bit me. I got sidesteps, setup my own home detailing and I tested myself this week. Detailed princess Diana on Wednesday also applied ceramic spray, which really made a huge difference.
Then I installed sidesteps. Took about 7 hrs between 2 days. Did all this by myself. I love the new look now. The boss aka my wife didn't want it but after she saw it, she LOVES it!! Now I want to BLACK this OUT!!! hyperdip! Stay tuned!!

I've been completely tortured trying to hunt down the thule fit kits 4116 and 6095. The 4116 seems to not be coming back. I've been searching for used lately and can't find anything. Driving me crazy! 6095 for the evo flush rail won't be in stock until 4/27. My ideal setup would have been the 135 evo wingbar black and evo flush rail to match my nightfall. We are going on a trip soon and I have officially given up. Soon I will be the proud owner of the Vikofan crossbars that LoboInCO97 recommended. They won't be as good as the thules or as good looking, but they get great reviews, are all black and are a great price.

Just installed the black running boards. Purchased the OEM from canada. Next week ceramic/ppf, roof rack/cargo box, and debating tint on front windows.

 

[DownToThis]

Similar to @mkodikan I also just got my Canadian running boards installed. Also tinted the front windows to match the back and added the oem crossbars. I've never done anything to any of my previous cars and not that the telluride needed anything but seeing what others where able to bring out of this awesome car really got me going. I think I'm done though!

Looks great. What % tint on the fronts? And the backs are factory? Look a lot darker than mine.

The running boards really add another dimension. Well done!

Yes mine are factory but yours do look a lot lighter! I think the guy did 20% up front.

Yes wolf gray, I love how the lighting makes it look different each time
