I went in today for an oil change, tire rotation and to get my rear window replaced.
While I was waiting I went out and checked out the Avalanches on the lot just to see what was out there. I noticed a few things that I hadn't before.
First of all, all of the Avalanches had pin striping that ran the length of the body on both sides start at the hood and running all the way back. It had a small stripe with a thicker stripe next to it. It was a light grey color and was really hard to notice... unless you were looking you wouldn't have noticed it, but it looked nice.
They also had some 2500's which I hadn't seen before. They had an Avalanche 2500 molded into the cladding and also had a thin piece of cladding at the top of the front wheel well.
Also noticed that almost all of the AV's had cloth seating. When I bought mine (10/01) every one I looked at except for one or two had leather. Also a majority had the tan interior now too (didn't see any with tan when I bought mine).
So anyway, I get done looking and head back to the service area. One of the sales vultures... errr I mean persons that I had seen before and knew I was there for service stopped me and said that she saw me out there looking and asked if I was interested in trading mine in.
Why would I trade in an 8 month old Avalanche for one just like it? I told her I had a 20 year loan so I'd have to keep it for awhile. 
Finally my Avalanche gets done and the first thing I do is check out the rear window. It was one of the newer windows (most easily noted by the number 2 in the top right corner) and it was tinted like I had, but it didn't look like as dark of a tint. It can't be a major difference, or maybe it's just me. If it's different, it's only off by just a little bit, but it does look lighter.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed anything like this or if there's anyway I can tell by the numbers on the window. I wrote down the numbers on the old window before hand and they are slightly different but I think that's just because it's an updated window. My service advisor said that there's only one tint and it should be the correct one.
I wanted to check on here and see if anyone had any input before I put my $50 worth of graffiti onto the window.
Thanks!
