hey guys, that's my hoe as she sits right now. I'm thinking about going with a different color bowtie since I'm converting to a chrome LTZ grille. So I need an opinion from y'all.. Would you say chrome bowtie or color matched bowtie?

Colormatched would look better than chrome/polished IMO... Black looks great the way it is, but with a chrome grill behind it, I can see it looking out of place.

That's what I was thinking, I just wanted something other than black, and it seems like the chrome one would either start chipping or be a pain to keep clean.

Whatever you do, don't go chrome bowtie ... tried it once and chrome makes it look as big as a disco ball.

Like Jonathan said, colormatched if LTZ grille and black like you have it now. :Handshake:

Gotcha! It'll probably be done sometime this or next week because I'm getting it done the same time that I get my taillights tinted.

Can you please straighten your Tower of Pisa basketball backboard pole?

It's going to give me nightmares knowing it's in this state.

Yessir, and did you have to retrofit the escalade taillights or the 3rd brake light?

Nope :cool:

All simple bolt ons.

A LOT of people have them here.

You do need the Appliques to match the pleat in the G5s/Escalade replicas.

Also.....

If you get OEM Escalade Tails. Then you need a custom harness too.

Thanks.
