So I’ve been thinking about rims, either NNBS Escalade rims or the current generation rims, I think if I went with the current generation rims I could get away with leaving the door handles, running board & roof rack chrome

The blue LEDs look great. Nice work @ScottyBoy.

I like the chrome wheels as it will tie in with the other chrome pieces, without being too flashy, but still showing the Esky class.

The newer generation wheels will bring it forward a bit as well. Maybe get a Photoshop look to see what it will look like. I think it will look good.

ScottyBoy does great work he’s working on a few more switches for me and sending out the HVAC unit tomorrow, I think I might go with those current generation Escalade rims, then I saw this Esky on CL and it makes me want to completely murder it out

What are you waiting on? Lol

Lol the hardest part is going to be find some NBS Denali outer door handles cause I think since there color matched that’s easier then trying to paint the Esky ones and you can’t buy them new, the rack and boards I could wrap

I think you could wrap the handles too, if not get the textured black ones and paint them gloss black.

Here’s some pics from today got a foot plus of snow in CT, and the Escalade went through it like a tank. I wasn’t a huge fan of AWD at first but it’s hands down better then my previous Tahoe

Damn send some of that to me! We are dying! All the snow we made over the course of December on the slopes is just melting. It’s been in the upper 50s for the last three weeks straight, and still no cold weather or precipitation of any sort in our forecast for at least the next two weeks!
