Blacking out the escalade

[ZaC851]

I got my 24" wheels finished and mounted yesterday along with the tails and brake light but it just looks completely out of place with the chrome roof racks, chrome door handles, and chrome trim on the side steps...

For the roof racks, the end caps come off to remove the whole rack right? Do those end caps just pop off? I pulled on them a little yesterday but was afraid to pull to hard...

And what the about the door handles....i see how to get the front off by popping the rubber cover off on the inside of the front door but what about the back door handles...also will I be able to just remove the chrome handle part? of does the handle along with all the housing come off together?

You going to paint them, or remove and sell them?

no just paint them

Yes, the endcaps of the roof racks pop off. give steady force and pull. Once off, it will expose the screws and allow you to take off the racks that run across the roof.

Ive been thinking about blacking out my escalade as well. post pics when your done.

Any plans for the headlights?

not sure about the headlights yet. So I've been told I cant use the spray tint like I did on my tail lights because it has a red tint in it to help the brake lights shine through better. I'm going to keep the front and rear wreaths chrome though

Check out my album or other threads to see my black housing projectors and my old factory lights with clear corners. Also look at sam hamm's ext. He has black housing projectors. Also, Ebay sells vynil for heads and fogs for cheap.

Figured I would post the pics and will post more when finished. HOPEFULLY I'll get it done this weekend assuming weather doesn't mess it up.

Here's what is done last weekend. Tail lights blacked out and second one is the newly painted wheels
