It beats trying to find a clean used one

Exactly! And most of the used ones I’ve found are already broken! Lol

Scored a NOS Denali center console armrest off EBay, I’ve honestly never been a fan of the Escalade lid this will look a lot better and that dent in the pic is nothing something was leaning against it on a shelf

Interesting swap!

This is the Escalade lid, I’ve never been a fan of it, it matches the seats but this will look nicer I think

Yeah that’s what the console lid in the 2005 esky esv that belongs to family I live upstairs from has. Her interior is the super light tan color(almost off white) I think it’s called shale. But hers is perforated like that as well. My Denali has a solid leather lid. I notice the difference but don’t know that the perforated lid would bug me or not haha.

Funny too that you mentioned the small dent in the picture of the one you ordered. Mine does it all the time I rest my elbow on it for too long. Lol. But straightens our immediately

Yup that’s shale, it really didn’t bug me till I saw a Denali one lol till then I thought they were all the same, that’s interesting about how they dent like that

It is weird that they all didn’t like that! But it always goes right back so it never worried me!

Pulled the rear Caddy emblem along with the plugs on the hatch for the wiper delete and cleaned the adhesive off, need to pull off the inner trim panel tomorrow and clean the backside up, getting the holes welded up Friday night and getting the hatch painted in a few weeks

Installed the HVAC unit that I had @ScottyBoy throw some LED’s in, along with a harness for the NNBS shifter now the tow haul button works

Installed some new LED’s in the reverse lights no more rolling down the windows at night to back up

My cluster and steering wheel buttons match. I gotta send a box of switches off to him to have them swapped. But it’ll be a while before I can do the HVAC lol

Putting the caddy emblem back on? I'd leave it the way it is after it's painted. Nice and clean. Just gotta get rid of that rack now!

The Caddy emblem is staying off, that’s pretty much what started all this, the plug for the big wiper hole came off then when I took the rear Caddy emblem off the paint got a lil messed up so decided to weld the holes and get the hatch painted
