Premium Chrome Delete Tailgate Moldings & Trim Accessories

Transform the rear end of your truck or SUV with Trim Illusion’s premium chrome delete tailgate moldings and tailgate trim accessories. Our gloss black tailgate covers, handle overlays, and molding strips are precision-engineered to replace factory chrome with a sleek, modern blackout finish. Whether you drive a Chevrolet pickup, a full-size SUV, or a Toyota crossover, our tailgate accessories deliver a factory-quality upgrade that installs in minutes with no tools required.

Why Choose Trim Illusion Tailgate Moldings?

Factory chrome tailgate trim can look dated and is prone to pitting, peeling, and corrosion over time. Our gloss black tailgate moldings offer a durable, long-lasting alternative that instantly modernizes your vehicle’s rear appearance. Every piece is manufactured from automotive-grade ABS plastic, the same material used by OEM suppliers, ensuring a precise fit and consistent finish that holds up against UV exposure, road salt, and harsh weather conditions. Designed and tested in the United States, our products are backed by patented technology that sets them apart from generic aftermarket alternatives.

Comprehensive Tailgate Coverage

Our tailgate molding collection includes three distinct product types to cover every aspect of your vehicle’s rear end. Tailgate handle covers snap directly over your existing chrome handle to create a seamless blacked-out look, with options available for models with and without camera or sensor cutouts. Tailgate molding strips replace the chrome accent bar that runs across the tailgate, delivering a clean horizontal line in gloss black. And our tailgate trim covers provide full-width coverage for SUVs and crossovers, wrapping the entire chrome section in a single precision-fit piece. Together, these products let you achieve a complete chrome delete on your tailgate without paint, vinyl wrap, or professional installation.

Chevrolet Suburban & Tahoe: The TG6177BLK tailgate molding delivers a single-piece gloss black accent strip that replaces the factory chrome bar on the 2021–2024 Suburban and Tahoe, giving these full-size SUVs a bold, blacked-out rear profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles do your tailgate moldings fit?

Our tailgate molding collection currently covers the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Colorado, Suburban, Tahoe, and Traverse, as well as the Toyota Highlander. We also offer fitments for the GMC Canyon and Sierra 1500 through our shared-platform handle covers. New fitments are added regularly, so check back often or contact us to request a specific vehicle.

How do I install a tailgate molding or handle cover?

Installation is simple and requires no tools. Most tailgate moldings use automotive-grade 3M adhesive tape. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol, peel the backing, align the piece, and press firmly. Handle covers snap directly over the existing chrome handle. The entire process takes under 10 minutes.

Will a tailgate handle cover work with my backup camera?

Yes. Our tailgate handle covers are designed with cutouts for camera and sensor compatibility where applicable. For example, the TG6160BLK for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT/TB includes a camera/sensor slot. Always check the product description to confirm compatibility with your specific trim level.

What is the difference between TG6170BLK and TG6175BLK for the Toyota Highlander?

The TG6170BLK is designed for Toyota Highlanders without Smart Key functionality, while the TG6175BLK is made for models equipped with Smart Key. The Smart Key version includes the necessary cutout for the keyless entry sensor on the tailgate. Both deliver the same premium gloss black finish.

Are these tailgate moldings the same quality as OEM parts?

Absolutely. All Trim Illusion tailgate moldings are manufactured from automotive-grade ABS plastic, the same material used by original equipment manufacturers. Each piece is designed and tested in the US to ensure precise fitment, consistent color, and long-term durability against UV rays, road salt, and extreme temperatures.
