looking good so far, cant wait to see what it looks like later. the others look great also!
Thank you sir! Can't wait to get it a little lower and get these handles swapped out.
Come to Florida! FYI White03ECSB: Those RWDs have the 9.5" 14-Bolt semi-floater so you won't have to upgrade it when you supercharge the motor!
Good to know! Turbo for the blue truck before this one gets boosted but I would definitely love to get it there one day. Lol

Got my colormatched handles swapped out this morning. The 2 fronts were broken and had be glued back previously. And if it isn't already obvious, I'm try to make this thing a little different than every other stock one in the cleanest oem+ way. Plans are to get some colormatched fender vents for it next.

I'll keep an eye out, just 1.4% of all Escalades had that color in 2012. I was hoping to find a 6.2 NHT Sierra in that color, they called it Heritage Blue Metallic in 2013.

Yeah, I’ll probably never find another then especially if that 1.4% includes short and long wheel base. Hopefully we can just make the short one we have work.

Those fender vents are a ***** to replace.
Yea I figured they would be lol. I'd like to find some out of a premium or platinum that are painted with the chrome inserts. If not, I'll buy some regular ones and paint them.

You’ll need them of a 12-14 Premium. The Platinum ones are the same as a regular Escalade. I would recommend buying them new. I bought two used ones that both came in broken and the third one was usable but I had to replace the double sided tape on the edges which was a real pain and it still doesn’t look as good as the new one I ended up ordering for the other side.

Thanks for the heads up! Where did you end up ordering them from?
