[Jonah52]

is that a yes to the grill paint and billet? SHould i keep the gmc emblem or go completely badgeless? Im gonna take the denali off the sides soon. Its at the shop now getting a new rear bumper

Oem Denali grille > aftermarket billet grille

 

[Jonah52]

denali down under=2.5 times the cost of a billet

im on a college budget ;p

$75 for upper and lower versus $200 for a lower is not worth it.

yes..gotta replace whole glass....

The best way to go is to replace the entire glass. HOWEVER, you can just put the housing for the brake light and the brake light on with some 3M automotive double sided tape. The factory has it screwed in with 3 screws and it also has 3M tape on it. That tape is super strong and I am sure it would hold that up there, especially if you used a good amount of it.

Not sure you'd be able to find these parts separately for cheap. They are both pretty expensive to buy new.

See here: Part 40 & 8.

thanks man thats what i was wondering. I wonder that since the escalade and denali are essentially the same if the bolts line up?

 

[kses123]

No, the bolts do not line up. For what reason? I do not know! On the GMT900's, the bolt holes do line up for the moulding.

Yeah I want that 3rd BAD but spending $600+ for it kinda scares me away. I was quoted $750 without paint.

 

[kses123]

If you buy the glass, it comes pre-painted (if you have a color that they offered on the Escalade). Unfortunately the prices have gone WAY up on these from GM.

i swapped mine at a junkyard, i got the esky vent caps and rear window with entire 3rd brake light assembly for $400. they wanted like $600 for all of it but i offered to trade them my rear window, so they gave me 200 for it. still a nice chunk of money, but it looks sooo much more awesomer

now i gotta go back and get the esky bumper...i totally spaced out and forgot it .
