Opinions on Potential Denali Mods ...

[bauer4567]

@bauer4567: I appreciate the input on de-badging, but my personal taste is for chrome elements on my ride ... so this is more on how to arrange them rather than whether to keep them or not. Cheers!

Then yes. I agree it would make for a more symmetrical appearance which would certainly help the rear end. As for the chrome GMC letters on the applique, maybe someone could Photoshop that up for you!?

So wait... the entire applique would be chrome like on the escalade, or just the GMC lettering?

it would basically look like this:

but with the right letters and with a chrome gmc where the esky chrome appliqué is located.

i like!!!!!!!!!

Your **** would then be bothered that the Yukon and Denali are on the wrong sides. Leave applique smooth plz.

Mmm ... honestly Derek, if I leave the appliqué untouched, then I'll probably just swap out the red GMC letters for the chrome ones at the lower right and call it a day.

The size difference doesn't bother me that much ... so unless it's to achieve full symmetry there's no need to overcomplicate it.

But your point is taken ... I think what I'll do is when the chrome GMC letters get here, I'll mock them up with double sided scotch tape on the appliqué, take some pics, and see what we all think.

I think chrome GMC letters would look good. In my mind adding all these extra letters just makes me think of stick on fender vents and such.

And again... completely a styling opinion... but I wouldnt switch to the escalade appliques, but just paint the stocks to match... unless you are going with escalade tails... then the tails and appliques would not match with that body line...

Dan -- the G5s are Esky clones. They follow the contours of the Esky appliqués. So, if he goes with the G5s and NOT the Esky appliqués, then THAT won't look right.

Either way, I hope he color-matches the appliqués, that's for sure!

 

[soulsea]

Yeah maybe ... I'll mock it out and see, but really all I'm contemplating is putting the GMC logo where Chevy puts theirs.

lol yes, the truck will look identical to that pearl esky I posted but with the yukon badging.

Serge -- I like the idea that you're after with the tailgate lettering, including moving the GMC to the license plate hood piece. Go for it. But, be forewarned that it probably won't be easy to get the lettering lined up well.

I'm sub'd for a nice Denali!!!!

Thanks Kirk and Jacob.

Btw, has anyone seen what the GM accessory chrome cross rails look like in real life?

Nice or cheesy?
