Some minor debadging and colormatching on the Escalade. Colormatched the hood trim and added a colormatched smooth rear license applique in place of the cadillac one. Also debadged the tailgate and doors. I have colormatched handles in a box waiting to go on and I need to buy another hitch cover since mine decided it had better things to do. Then hopefully it on to a 3/5. have all the parts, just waiting on time to do it.

Nothing quite yet. Still going to be dropping it. Hopefully in the next month. Had to order 1 other thing and it hasn't shown up yet.

After almost a year of having parts sitting in a box I finally had the time to get my drop parts on yesterday after work. Parts should around 3.5 up front and 4ish in the rear but it feels lower. Gonna let it settle and adjust accordingly. Could stand to come down another inch all around. Also threw on my cv73 22s with 275/40s. Fender vents and new hitch cover are at the painter. Exhaust next and I'll be happy with it for a while.

Went a little lower in the rear. 3.5/5 now but I also traded my 22s and some cash for a set of Billet Specialties Fury 6 24s. 1-of-1 set that was designed as a prototype for the owners truck and then sold to a buddy who eventually sold them and so forth. Confirmed by Billet Specialties that this is the only set ever made which I thought was rad. They are 3 piece 24x10s with 305/35s right now. I was able to keep the same drop with almost no rubbing but ill need 295/30s to get it back as low as I want.

sexy. with no rubbing and rarity of the wheel i'd consider keeping the 305/35 for more sidewall
That looks sick. If you ever decide to sell the wheels please let me know.
What‘s next? More cosmetic or some performance? Anymore color matching? I say the the window trim / the bottom chrome do it black or color match.

Man I would if I didn't want to be lower lol. They'll definitely be staying a while though before i go any smaller.

Performance oriented mods next. Starting with brake upgrades, custom tune, and maybe bigger sway bars right now. Cam and headers in the near-ish future and eventually I want to put a blower on it.
Honestly I think im happy with the amount of contrast I have right now. I wanted to keep some chrome since I'll always have some polished/chrome wheels on it.
I do want to find another set of oem headlights to clear and I'm going to do the brakes in the cadillac performance yellow when I upgrade.

Havent posted anything new in a while. Now it's got oem 15+ 22s and the billet specialties 24s. Drop is 3.5/5. Got speed engineering 1 7/8 longtubes and ory. Nothing too crazy lately. Just bought a house so it'll remain the same for a bit lol

Mayne it's been a minute. Sold the 07 escalade and bought another one. For a while I've been wanting a platinum or premium. At work we traded for a 13 mocha steel premium and I snagged it. Sold my 07 within a few days and got started on the new one.
Swapped my wheels and tinted the windshield on day 1. The following weekend I debadged the doors, liftgate and rear window. Also installed led fogs, puddle lights, license plate lights and reverse. Installed my airraid tube off the white one.
Since then I've swapped over my Billet Specialties 24s and have just mainly been driving it. All the magride is fairly new so it rides pretty nice. I will definitely be lowering it sometime in the near-ish future though. A simple 2/4 to start and eventually 3/5ish once the magride wears out.
Still on the immediate to do list:
Remove pin stripe
Borla (in the shop)
Quad tips for rear bumper openings
Find some oem style clear headlights
Full fog light/turn signal mod
Future list:
Drop
Big brakes
Cam
Lsa (maybe one day
)
