Maybe if I sell enough undercoating, I'll eventually stop being a gigantic prick.

I hope you're building a stable of increasingly bad-rear end Escalades.

Looks pretty nice, but definitely would look better with some less contrast of the wheel logo, since you spent so much effort debadging the rest.

It is somewhat funny that with different tires, it'd be just like the Bakersfield truck scene, but you're missing the RIP someone decal sticker on the back and straight pipe instead of the muffler. Except those are Suburbans or Tahoe/Yukon, not an actual Escalade, though the front end sometimes is...

This song gets stuck in my head whenever I read this thread's title, with the obvious parody.

Liking the thread so far, that's a bad-rear end SUV you have there.

I never got that, why the hell would somebody memorialize a loved one on the back of their car. I'm going to state in my will that no one in my family is allowed to do that, my name will not be put on the back window of a Kia Soul :colbert:

Also waddup commie.

My father liked the idea of "De-Escalading" so much that he bought a '08.

It will be getting the same treatment shortly.

Any update on your father's truck?

I also think a cop pushbar is the best option. Somehow the others just look like tacky boltons that don't really fit the style or form of the vehicle they're on, probably because I see them on 9 million bro-ed out GMs with calvin pissing stickers and rockstar wheels.

The factory fog lights are as bright as a candle so I bought some 6" LED light bars and retrofitted them into the OEM (tinted) housings



Nice, I was looking at using my shells for a custom light setup, too. Still haven't decided on what I'm going to use. Leaning towards a standard projector headlight retrofit or a Jeep 30w LED fog setup, but I haven't run the measurements yet.

Well what's attached to a leash that it made itself?
The punchline is the way that you've been fuckin' yourself




Nice, though it's been Re-Escaladed now. :v:

Did you get the new wheel caps machined to put on the OEM caps or something?
