I extended the fender flares, custom built, tweeked the grill, and put the fog lights in. I wish i could lift it and run 32's but I have a hard enough time affording gas as it is. AS a college student im trying to decide if I could afford to keep it, and eventually lift it and run the 32's and do more work to it such as a full rag top sun roof, half back behind the doors, and build some custom brush guards. Or maybe just put it aside for now and wait for times to be better to work on it more. Alot of decisions to make. Also its not lowered, thats just the worn stock leafsprings! I also might be re painting it white becuase the paint thats on it now has alot of orange peel it was the first car i painted, so now im thinking of making it white with black accents. Also im from staten island.

Looks like you really wanted a pimped-out Escalade. Not my preference in color scheme or those wheel wells.
