Yea getting the esky stuff is more expensive then just getting the tahoe clip. Pretty sure it is because the esky stuff is expensive

Yea that's what I figured. Also, now I'm thinking if I sell the Escalade front end I should be able to have enough to pay for the parts that I want plus paint! Hopefully it won't end up costing me anything to do the exterior how I want... Then I just need to worry about suspension, wheels, and system

I actually went to get the Escalade today and saw a white 05 Tahoe with only 50k miles so I'm going to get that.

I originally wanted the Escalade cuz it has alot of things that I want but I just picked up an SS bumper, paintable grille shell and street scene speed grille insert all for $300, also got smooth D-Pillars for $100.

I wasn't gonna get the Tahoe cuz its an LS but then I realized that there are so many things I wanna do (black interior, and other custom stuff) that I wouldn't keep any of the extras I would get in the Escalade anyways... Except I wish I had a sunroof!

I ended up getting an 05 Escalade (Pearl White) and I think you're right about the cladding not looking right? Anybody else know any ideas of changing the front end?

Wow I am actually really liking it. So now I am very interested in doing this. Does anybody know if that cladding just comes off? I would want to keep the cladding if I decided to work out a trade on my front end

Also is there anybody here that could photoshop one of those pictures with an SS front bumper?
