Is there any negative effects to changing the vent caps? Basically is there any functionallity lost with changing my 04 Burban's to the Escalade?

The only effect is they look 100000 times better. But seriously there is no negative effects.

Where in La are you from?

I had no problem taking the apps off it was putting the esky ones on that gave me trouble.Its almost as is its not clipped in fully but it sticks out a little on my truck and the stock ones sat flush.Ill try to snap a pick but ive pulled them off and pit them on so many times to try and ffix that im afraid if I keep messing with it im gonna start breaking clips.

Find a local body shop and see how much. Mine cost me 6 pack, but my buddy is a painter so.. But any local auto body shop should be able to give you a quote and do it.
