Thanks bud ... I actually already ordered the handles. :)

I had a line on a good deal on a rack but someone talked me out of it. :)
Any ideas where I can score one?

the rendering did it. Just looked neat. Sorry about the rood rack. :emotions122:

since we are on the topic of modding the Hyhoe, remove the emblems between the side windows and the one on the door... the longer u wait on that, it'll show through the paint. :)

True, but I'm saving the earth and everyone needs to know about it!

Btw, isn't it interesting ... if you look at that GM pic of the HyNali on my opening post it looks like it's sitting on a 2/4 drop and full front window tint, neither of which are actually available from GM. Even they know it looks better that way. :whymewhyme:

One more thing ... what would be a good price for a NEW oem esky/nali rear bumper cover dealer painted black?

I got a line on one near me (no shipping) for $400 ... is that good?
It's only the bumper, not the step pad/chrome strip, no closeout, or hardware.

i think the bumper brand new from GM, unpainted, was $480.00 by itself. So, $400 painted isn't horrible. I'd shoot for $350 just for fun.

No it's not that good.

Rear bumper cover unprimed on eBay after shipping runs for around 300 for one that is un-damaged. I actually got one shipped to me for $100 total because of light damage/few knicks and scratches/had to be re-painted. My body/paint guy made it like brand new again with GM Summit White paint for 250 extra.. so total I paid 350 shipped/painted/new again. I didn't need to buy any hardware because I used all the hardware from the original Tahoe rear bumper cover that came with my car.

Here's a random idea for a mod ...

2011-Cadillac-Escalade-4WD-Platinum-Hybrid-Cluster.gif


Swapping to an esky hybrid cluster. Not on the list but I wonder if you guys know if it's an easy/straight forward mod. :think:
