That body's front end really bother's me. The rounded edges and corners of the hood/grill/bumper looks funny with the boxed look of the rear.

Reminds me of when they swap a NNBS front clip onto a NBS or other front clip swaps, it never looks right. And yes, this a front clip swap. Kinda like a mullet only NBS in the front and -no, not party in the rear- it’s Old Body Style in the rear. :rolleyes:

Except that the only GMT800 parts on this particular truck are the roof racks. The Denali front end swap on this is a GMT400 Denali clip, not a GMT800.

I’m sure that they have their following now, but those panel gaps in the pictures are about what they looked like when they did the Denali/Escalades new.

Those first generation versions were badge engineering at its finest with a nice profit to boot. I guess it worked out for GM in the end.

Well, it certainly looks different. It also looks like it's owned by a jerk. You can bet they don't need handicap parking.
I believe I see a handicap placard in the front windshield.

Not to take away from the absolute disgust this thing evokes in us... :doublepuke:
