New front end (previous and current Platinum front end) blacked out comes on the 2012 Premium Escalades-- along with the door handles, door trim, and vents all previously chromed out. Andddddd comes with dual exhaust with new bumper?!?! I'm thinking about upgrading to the Platinum fascia it's so friggin clean... what do you guys think?

Everything but the tail lights looks great! Those tails look CHEAP! The new rear bumper with the exhaust looks pretty cool too!

The tail lights have Been out. They are identical to the stock ones but clear. It also has the matching third brake light clear. I prefer the clear red on both :/

Yea I really like the bumper too. Something to retrofit in the future ;)

My cave part is the bumper/exhaust set up :) I like how they've toned down the chrome a little bit too so that's it's not so much :) very nice...

Yeah, I really like both the front and rear bumpers. Especially, that dual exhaust! It provides a much cleaner look. The toned down chrome is also a nice improvement. I like a little chrome, but not too much.

Yea the chrome trim on the lift tailgate appliqué looks sooo much cleaner. It's definitely on my future mod to do list along with that Esky rear bumper.

Wow! You guys really like those huge, squared-off front bumper corners?! I think they look terrible. They kill the lines of the front of the truck. Not a fan whatsoever.

I think the rear looks good. The front corners are a mistake, imo.

Have you seen a Platinum front end in person? I thought the same as you until I saw one in real life... it's much cleaner then the stock front end.
