Said Goodbye to my 2012 Denali ** PICS **

Hello All,

I just wanted to post a few pictures of my 2012 Denali that I took before returning her to stock form. I was very happy with how she turned out and wanted to share.

Here's a quick list of the mods:

22x9.5 AC Forged 3 Piece Forged wheels

Wilwood Big Brake Kit with black calipers drilled/slotted rotors (all 4 corners)

Black Flame Customs HID retrofit headlights. I went with as close to a factory look as possible.

OEM Escalade tail lights with appliques.

Hotchkis Sway Bars (Model 2291). -Not Belltech

Sad to see her go.

Wow, she sure was a beaut.
That wheel/tire/brake combo really set it off.

Why selling?

This was a conservative build that had character.

You selling off parts

Thanks guys. I was really happy with it. I like to mod vehicles in a way that I feel they should have come from the factory. I couldn't believe that a vehicle at this price point didn't have HIDs - and the stock brakes were horrible. I liked the stock height so the sway bars handled the excessive body roll.

I already sold the tail lights and appliques. Everything else is in my garage at this point.

I was interested in the 2015 Denali, but the 3rd row is still a joke. I wouldn't want to sit in a seat with my knees in my chest. The XL is too long for the wife, so we may opt for the Acadia Denali next year.

Did the sway bar make a big difference? How much did you pay for it?

The sway bars made an amazing difference in body roll. I drove through a nice local canyon to and from the shop that installed them as a test. I giggled like a little girl on the way home. Very much like when I installed my Autocal tune.
The only downside is that the ride gets just a tiny bit rougher over bumps/rough roads.
