Dang that's a crazy project! Are you going to do anything to the interior? How will you explain this when you sell it? And your house looks pretty sweet, btw.

Ya it was a crazy project, but fun. I don't plan on selling it anytime soon so not a biggie, but who ever buys it will see it is in perfect shape, the interior looks brand new.

How are you going to handle your vehicle registration? I'm guessing they won't allow you to make it an Escalade if the VIN says something else. Your likely to get pulled over if the plate doesn't match the vehicle.

Great job!!

+1 on the whole registration thing...you are more likely to get pulled over when they run your plates and it comes back to a Burb and you look like an Esky....

Wont be a problem, with all the other people adding spoilers, hood scoops, body kits, they don't even look like the original vehicle so they cant give me shit.
They can pull me over it don't matter, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get.

And it will say BURBALADE on the doors and rear hatch instead of Escalade or Suburban :)

That's why I want to put Decepticon Badges on the rear and front where the stock Escalade crest is :)

Getting pulled over wont matter. Esky converted, or not, it's still a Burb. Any competent LEO can confirm this by comparing the VIN on the registration to the VIN on the truck. If they don't like it, tough shit. Nothing illegal about swapping hoods, fenders, etc.
