I had the same color third brake light, appliqués and tails about two years ago off a Platinum a guy was parting out locally. I bought all that for $150 and sold it on eBay along with the head lights for over 1k. The headlights alone brought $800.

I paid $216 on eBay for mine. Even if you don't do the full LED mod, you already know that it looks awesome. I had it in my head that if I was buying the Esky 3rd, then I was getting the full LED mod and G4 LED tails as well.

I did not go the G5 route, even though kwOH tried to send me that direction. I am happy with the G4s and the money saved on not going with the Esky appliqués paid for the full LED mod.

Win/Win in my book.

I agree! If I don't get these OE tails I'll buy the G4. Like you said.... I don't have to buy the appliqués even though I really like the look!

Yep. Have to do one or the other due to the Esky crease on the appliqué and G5s. Either way it will look good.

I guess it depends on what you like better, for me it came down to i really liked the g5s and so i did what it took to get them.

I picked up the roof rack today! Also I screwed up and didn't notice one of the Escalade wheels had been repaired and welded. So a guy had one for sale locally for $100 and I picked it up. I ordered new tires last night. I will keep the Bridgestone that are on the Escalade wheels and put them on the U255s if I ever get them to powder.

I ordered vinyl for the emblems and I think I have enough to do the end caps on the rack!

In theory I will have the driver side molding finished, roof rack installed, wheels and tires mounted and emblems color matched by the end of this weekend! Wishful thinking... we will see!

Being a truck/SUV state parts for our vehicles are pretty plentiful. We do have plenty of junk yards to go through. I think we have 2 maybe 3 GM junk yards.
