Hey Bro......

I had a set that hyperflashed.....

Driver side.

It was more of the fear of not being able to return them ...... lol.

I bought from CarID.......and they had the attitude "it is not defective" and wanted me to send them pix of the hyperflashing...... I was like..... seriously?

I got my money back after I brought up that I would contest the cc charge.

A lot of other folks have had issues (moisture related) with the G4s..... but not the G5s.

Good to know. I guess I lucked out with mine since I had them on for a few years without any problems. Although I've been running stock tails for the past year after getting pulled over several times for having the g4's tinted to dark lol.

I do like the lines of the G4s A lot.

I did not want to do the oem G5s because of having to change appliques...... but that does not matter anymore..... as I bought a set of those.

I have so many parts in boxes waiting to be installed. Lol.

Yea G'5 without escalade appliques don't flow right. Your build has been coming along nicely. I'm sure you can't wait to get everything on!

I second going with the g4 or g5 tails and full LED Third. Couple that with some front tint and full exterior LED lights (DRL, Puddle Lights and License Plate) and you have a nice change to the exterior.

yea i already have the License plate lights. also as far as the DRL what Part # and which ones do you prefere?
You could upgrade the stock grille and Body match the bow tie's as well, or do a complete demold and debadge.

i forgot to say it but i debadged it the week i got it and covered both Bowtie's in Black

Since your looking to do suspension down the road, you could do just the rear sway bar upgrade now, which provides a huge increase in handling, even on stock height trucks.

ill have to look into a rear sway bar. coming from a Subaru with full suspension and a del sol with the same i do lnot like the swaying of the truck. but can you give me more input on you rear bar change?
Def get the 2nd headrest monitor. I'm pretty sure just one monitor looks out of place.
And pics of how it currently looks might help us out a bit.


yea thats one of the first things ill by after the first. the wife thinks its a waste but i think it looks stupid also.


so with all the G$ inputs; does any have any suggestion as to where to get a set?

thanks everyone for the suggestions

The sway bar upgrade makes a very noticeable improvement in keeping the rear more planted to the road and minimizing sway. My tahoe has a 2/3 drop and DJM front and rear sway bars and it was a night and day difference. There is no sway and the rear stays planted. On stock height trucks it will help reduce the sway as well, but not as much as if you are lowered. Our stock height escalade has just the rear sway bar, and the sway is pretty much gone, it handles better, and it didn't make the ride harsh.

As far as the DRL LEDs, the size is 3157. I went with the VLED's from here. http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/3157-led-bulb-dual-intensity-45-smd-led-tower/633/
