Insanely priced?

You could probaly sell the original front end to someone wanting to put an Escalde front end on a Tahoe or Yukon. Make back some of your cost.

True, but I gotta come up with the $2400 first. I think my mom should pitch in a little, since it's HER vehicle haha.

But, all the little parts only cost a few bucks. Maybe I should buy one major piece at a time as I get the money, and then once I get those, I'll go to the dealer and see what all nuts/bolts/brackets I need, which should only run up to an extra $100 or so.

Well good luck with the project. Let us know how it's coming along

Thanks! It'll be a while though. I have yet to get a job so I have no extra money coming in except chores, doing errands for my mom, and birthday money for my birthday in a week.

And that won't buy a Platinum fascia too quickly, haha. I'm thinking about getting the Platinum headlights off of junkyards...they sell them for about $500 each in grade A condition as opposed to the $1800 each from GM sites. And then if we don't like the new headlights, we can sell them on eBay for more than what we paid.

Lol, please don't make that a discussion, I get enough of that at school.

god me to man, and my family isnt even wealthy. due to medical reasons my mom cant drive anymore and my dad drives her car and i took his, the one in my profile picture. i hate it more than anything, especially when i pay for all the gas, insurance, tickets i get, mods, everything really besides the actual car which was handed down to me. sorry for the rant haha but on topic, if it comes painted to match the car and he has all the little parts you need imo its not too far off. peace man

Haha well it's always nice to meet other people my age here! Is yours a Z71? I can't tell from the pics.

And yeah the price isn't that far off but I could still save a lot if I buy them from GM. I guess the dealer would know what parts to order.
