Introducing my03 Esky

[Gs03Escalade]

Hello TyF, just thought I'd introduce myself and my new Escalade.

It's my First GM product since HS, and my first ever Cadillac. It's an 03 Esky, pewter, one owner.

My immediate plans are:

Shave the emblems
Remove the roof rack
Remove the running board
Remove the chrome handles and get color matched door handles, and Weather tech floor mat set

Parts being stockpiled so far are:

PLZ devices: wideband o2, egt, boost gauges.

Future plans:

Single turbo, s400 series
-25cc dish forged pistons
Head/rod/main studs
05+ electric fan swap
4l80e swap


And the list continues...

Very nice, 07+ style esky wheels? I'm still debating on wheels, tbss are my current favorites, followed by the new denali 22s. Just so many clean oem styles to choose from.

Thanks there NNBS (07+) Denali rims 20" in gloss black I love that generation Escalade rims in 22" but so many people with NBS Escalade's run those

Today's update, Removed the OEM Roof racks! And a much needed car wash. I am going to have to really clean and polish to get the paint looking fresh, 14 years of crud underneath.

Welcome. Nice Escalade.

I see you took the roof rack off. Are you selling it?

Today's work:

I think the dome style would be cleaner especially if u painted them to match

& sounds like a nice build

The dome shaped looks exactly what was bolting my rack down. I just put them back in the holes.
