Does anybody has an LS with no body side molding? I got my LS last July with no BSM and according to chevrolet website it is a standard item and not an option.

www.chevrolet.com has a few error’s, it is maintained by an outsourced company. The Color keyed body side moldings (B85) is actually a $100 option on the 2007 LS model Tahoe.

ZX110F1, if it is a mistake , then they have to correct that data in the website , for now , they have to supply me the BSM since that is clearly stated as a standard item in the website , dont you think so?

Escalon, thank you for your concern, that place is selling it for $200. I talked to GM and they said it is standard item after built 6/30/2006 of the tahoe. The problem is, in the website they didnt mentioned after "BUILT" 6/30/2006 which is a misleading statement. Thats means none of the LS you saw at the parking were built after 6/30/06. or could this BSM could be a dealer installed item and not from the factory? If not I guess thats a way to know if you are buying an old stock Tahoe.

I think they really built a sh--load of Tahoes before initial release and many are still on the lots. The lot near me has probably 50 or 60 and most of them seem to have been there well before I bought mine in late May. I bought mine in So Cal and the production date is early February 2007. So I bet many of the units sitting around now were built in February thru May. Just a guess, and I bet it varies for different locales throughout the country. I don't know whether I've ever see an LS with side mldgs. It's funny, but 10 years ago we were all dechroming trucks, burbs, tahoes. Even years ago when I used to build Cal Look bugs, all the chrome came off the exterior. Now the factories have caught up with the trends and have gone monochromatic and sleek, and we want to bling them up with chrome and stuff. I guess we just want to be different and avoid the status quo. Anyway, good luck.

Hmm, I was wondering why my Tahoe didn't have the color matched BSM. I'll have to pick some up. They help with preventing door dings, plus they look better than the black ones that came on the old body style LS Tahoes. Any body have a part number for these?

No I don't! Did the Tahoe have the body side moldings on it when you test drove it and signed the paperwork? The exact day of the change to B85 being standard on LS models was build on and after 6/17/2006 The base MSRP of the Tahoe (4X4's ) also jumped from $36,915 to $37,100 so YOU DID NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN"T GET!
