Since I got the 07+ Escalade boards on the roof rack bugs me...just don't think it looks right & want some opinions...

a) remove it period...
b) get Escalade rack...
c) leave stocker but paint to match...
d) just leave it the way it is...

Step 1 - Remove balcony, it's crushing your car.
Step 2 - Remove rack for clean lines.
Step 3 - Reposition house back to level.

Esky if you can get it for a price that fits your budget, otherwise leave it the way it is.

It looks good now.

a b or c seem like a good choice to me. with the escalade rack being #1. lately ive been wondering though how the stock roof rack would look with the front and rear caps body colored. kinda like a knock off escalade rack look

take it off first and see what you think.. the esky rack chrome might compliment the bits of chrome on the rims and running boards.. I am in the middle of the same decision myself.

I vote to take it off and see how ya like it then go from there.

IMO if you had the chrome handles and mirror caps an esky one would look good. But there's gonna be a tad of chrome down low on the boards and a tad on top, kinda unbalanced maybe??

i took mine off the other day and thought it looked funny.. maybe it was because i could still see the holes where it mounts. i took off one side and left the other, and walked back and forth a 10000 times before i said F it and put it back on lol
