i picked it up like this



Debadged it



switched out the billet fuel door to a stock black one


5k VLED leds in the plate , puddle and interior lights




windows tinted 15 %


removed the ugly chrome mirror covers



i dont have any specific picture after the windshield tint

next was having the grill vinyl wrapped



my pass side headlight kept getting condensation in it so i ordered a new OEM replacement


with that headlight order i also got the center anchor bolt you need for the esky roof rack install so i installed my painted rack



Escalade shifter installed . i used a 09 vin at the dealer so i would get one with the stitching facing away from the driver , i think it looks cleaner then the earlier ones with the stitching facing the driver



i picked up a pair of escalade tails and sent the harness off to "the yeti" ( robbie ) to get the resistors put in . i also ordered the rear escalade appliques from him as well. hes great to do business with .


escalade 6 button key fob finally came so i programmed it to the truck


escalade 3rd brake light


removed the plastic handle on the rear hatch glass


11/3 this week ive got several things going on with the yukon. taillight harness should be back to me so ill install the tails. then im taking a trip to the body shop to drop off the appliques for paint . i will leave the truck there to have the door molding removed and a full detail . pictures will follow .

11/5 moved detail appointment and door molding removal back a week and scheduled my 100k mile service at the dealer for next week as well .

11/6 ordered GM Trans cooler part # 19171483

11/8 picked up a pair of silverstar ultras . They are just something a little brighter untill I have a projector retrofit done . Escalade Appliqués also came in

Looks Great :thumbup:

Are you going to change the wheels?

Also, how much they quote for the applique paint?

I still need to get mine done.

Wheels are definitely on the todo list . I like the 24" ck375 reps norcalss sells . I was thinking about buying them and powder coating them gun metal .

Body shop I go to is charging me $50 to paint the appliqués

Truck looks great. I really like the way it looks with the esky painted roof rack. How hard was it to program the esky 6 button remote? Much cleaner looking remote.

Thanks , it's not hard todo on a 07 takes about 2 minutes to program it with the DIC. From what I read you need to already have a Chevy/gmc 6 button remote for the swap to work . I bought my fob off eBay brand new for $85 still in the Oem packaging . Just make sure it's a 08 and up and a 6 button .

I'm asking this knowing I'm going to look like an idiot, but what are you referring to when you say "Applique"?

Thanks. I already have the 6 button remote. I purchased the GM extra range remote systematic while ago but haven't installed it. The remote is a little to big for my likeing.

Appliqué in this case is referring to the piece above the tail light that is to the left and right of the rear hatch glass. When you do the esky tail light swap the tahoe/Yukon ones are rounded and the esky ones have a hard edge to match the shape of the esky tail lights . U don't have to swap them to use the esky lights but it completes the look

Ok. Thanks for the tutorial. Going to take a look on eBay for the remote. I don't think the mods list is ever going to be completed.

Very nice choice in mods already, those 375's would look wicked charcoal on black.
