Tahoe to Cadillac Conversion - Chevy Escalade

Following the added bling, the bumper cover was secured to the front bumper's foam padding with a couple of bolts, and another pair of bolts secured the bumper to the vehicle.

The foglamp assembly was plugged into the lower part of the bumper cover. This required the purchase of another harness, since the existing one was not designed to operate both a foglamp and a signal.

This shows the bracer for the corner of the lower bumper while it was being installed.

Moving to the rear liftgate, the Chevy Bow Tie and the molding it was set into were replaced by the flashier aftermarket badging from Asanti and the Escalade molding. A factory Escalade mounting location had to be created, which meant an extra hole was drilled that would accept the three-pronged Escalade molding.

The door handles were tossed away in favor of the chromed factory Escalade versions.

The Cadillac fenders come with the Cadillac side vents, although 714 Motorsports decided to forego the factory Escalade vents for the Asanti version.

Next, the lower air dam was put into place.

Here, you can see the factory Escalade grille mounted onto the front end. It was a purely academic exercise because it was removed in favor of the Asanti mesh upper and lower grilles.
