Nice...black is the best color. Keep it clean! Regarding your bowtie and grille question...I could not find a black bowtie either. I just spray painted my stock bowtie with a special plastic paint called Krylon Fusion.

Yea black is nice . I had the black bowtie for my 02, but the way they go on is different. The 06's actually screw on instead of clipping on. Anyone know how to get the regency billet insert? I need to go back to the dealership and count how many bars go across on that cause I think other brands have to many and it looks a lil too close together. Thanks for the comments

I bought my escalade handles and tailgate handle as a package on ebay, for$129shipped to my door.. not bad, if you want the all painted ones they are like 50%cheaper, I have also seen the bowties on ebay for around $30...
by the way nice truck!! what part of houston are you from??

Thanks for the info ap2002. Im going to look for a black bowtie on there. Ill probably keep it the same in the front other than the black bowtie and billet grill. It will look sweet i think! I wanted to do that all black front end again like my last truck but chrome is much more durable and i drive the highway alot so i could use the extra durability!
