Looks good with the color contrast.
Haven't got to the tire and fender rub when turning but when I undo the front suspension restraint links that keep it at the stock ride height I anticipate the body will lift off some as the old truck likely weighs less than the envoy did. I have some lowering struts to bring it back down. Then I will do a turning lock to lock thing at full jounce to see if the tires rub. If they do I may do what you have done and/or modify the wheel openings so the tires dont rub under any circumstances.
