Painting the window sills is expensive, not so much the paint itself ... but they are part of the entire window frame and that means getting four new ones when you sell her. Btw, those should probably be black imo, so that they match the rest of the piano black window trim.

Damn tried to put on my painted esky rack and use the galaxy grey end caps and I guess the 10 Escalades are a little longer then the ones I have and use a different clipping. I got the front end cap to clip but the back one will not fit because it is a little to small.

Great color choice. It's going to look great with the color matched trim and you'll have just enough black to break up the grey but not give it a cheap look. Looks sick

Looks good....... but not feeling the black wheels with this truck.

The rivets look off on a Escalade too. Imo

Well, maybe I'll change my mind when I see the rest of the stuff painted but I think the tinted lens on top of the side markers looks terrible. It's okay on a tahoe since the headlights have a lot of black plastic in them, but it just looks cheesy on all chrome esky headlamps imo.

Love the way the rest of the truck is heading.

Yeah I just can't stand the orange. It loos good in person. Down the road I will paint the inside black or color match. I would put on the galaxy grey end caps but they don't fit the roof rack I have for some reason

depends on the year of the esky the racks came on. Different caps for different years.

But that doesn't matter, cuase all it takes is about a day for a paint shop to paint the black ones galaxy grey :D

Please be careful if and when you try to open those up cause I'm 99.9% sure they are permasealed and can only be dremeled open. There is no aftermarket replacement for them and I'm sure by know you know how much it costs to replace them.
