My 2008 Escalade Build

[Goveaeman]

Hey guys, new to the forum just wanted to share my build. 2008 Cadillac Escalade purchased used 2 weeks ago. Just got the Borla Pro XS muffler with a downturn done as well as a Volant intake put in. Changed out the bulbs to LED bulbs as well. Also went with a Viper 5706 security system instead of the factory one. Currently waiting on parts to get here for my Premium bumper to go in. Still undecided on what 24" replicas i want as well as what drop i want to put on. More to come soon...

Congrats..
What you waiting on for the bumper?? That looks like a complete bumper all you need to do is remove stock and put that on.

 

[Goveaeman]

Yeah but i need the color matched hood molding. That will be getting here tomorrow. Unfortunately i will be out in San Francisco tomorrow evening for the weekend so might have to put everything on next week. Also not sure if i should order the Inner Fender liners since the bottom part of where they meet the bumper will not match up. Do you happen to have the part number for this plastic cover by chance?

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

No I don't off hand. Also that is something you can always add down the road. I will prob get them maybe this summer. Lets see the whole truck..

I will post some pictures once i get home later today. So far all stock other than Limo tint all around, still debating on tinting the tail lights a bit also not sure what drop i want to get on it. any recommendations?

That thing is sick

That looked. Good also looks like air ride..

For drop. Got with Beltech. I did that with mine and love it. I have 2/3-4 kit but still have the spacers in the rear. I need to take them out.

 

[Goveaeman]

Yeah i loved that one til i sold it. It did have air ride suspension installed by Universal Air. it had Savv 10.2 Headrest in front and in rear headrest as well as a full system where the 3rd row used to be. 26 Asanti wheels. and so on. but Sold it a year after i purchased it. heres another picture of the front end lifted

I seen your old ride on cardomain, sweet
Your not going to bag this one?

Looks good. Normally dont like rims that big but they fit well with your ride.

Thanks guys, that was my previous Escalade. Wont be doing airbags this time around since i really didnt like the reliability of them. Now that i have kids and my wife drives it as well going for a little more subtle modifications. still undecided about what 24" wheels to go with. Also undecided about the drop debating 2/4 drop or 3/5 drop. Let me know what you guys think would look good.

 

[Sho'Tyme]

Very very nice!!!

I currently have a 2/4 but would go w/ the 3/5 if I could do it all over again.

Yeah i am leaning more towards a 3/5 drop. Here are some pics of my current Escalade. Still stock black on black.

Premium grill will be going in next week after i get back from vacation.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

Where I am and live 2/3-4 kit is all I would do. Still rides good even with the 26's. But also I have the MRC.

For 24's I would go OEM Reps. If I went down in size that is what I would have done.

 

[Goveaeman]

So which 24" Reps do you think will look better the Escalade (ones i currently have on the truck) or Platinum ones? or any other suggestions

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

CK375! I have them in 22's for winter and love that style. Also Nathan has them on his and Serge had them on his Escalade in 24's.

 

[tonaaayyyy]

Man that is pretty sick....
