Onstar antenna (color matched) done
Remove bug shield done

Remove topper done
Remove yellow off tailights done

Haha. I've been wanting to sign up on here for a little while, just never had the time. You're way ahead of me on performance, I'm hoping to atleast get it tuned soon lol. Are your headlights oem Denali's or Amazon ones? I may have asked you a while back.

Oem denalis, sent the depo ones back . Found some on amazon that said used but we're in fact just open box brand new. The depo lights weren't horrible but oem fit better .


Thanks for the offer on the turbo but I'm looking for the newer 68mm stg 2r that Danville does. It's 2399 new so I'll wait.

I'll keep browsing ebay and amazon. I would love to find someone around here with a denali that would trade and not care.

The truck looks awesome. We actually just picked up a 2007 Sierra LT with only 33.8k miles (1 owner) last week.

With the wheels/tires you have installed what lift did you add to the truck? Level? Did you have to mod to wheel wells to stop rubbing?

Also were you able to track down OEM escalade exterior door handles painted in gray stone or did you pick up some aftermarket handles and have them painted?

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for this truck.

The stock turbos on 04.5 and newer trucks sound so good imo I just wouldn't want to upgrade to an aftermarket one. Just thought Id say that. :D

That's crazy low miles! What a find.

Current setup is only the factory keys cranked. With the bumper raised and trimmed a little, they don't rub there. I did no modifications to the fenders, but they still rub metal at full lock. The cognito will take care of that.

The handles are from rockauto, and I had a body shop disassemble them and paint.
