unless he wants to cut the bottom off of his stock fenders, youll have to find two tweaked fenders to cut the sections that need to be grafted onto the escalade fenders. ill look through my reciepts and get the part numbers for you.

You will be cutting and welding on the bottom back section of the fenders.

I've ordered 2 kits from stylin concepts. They have them for $2995 with everything you need wire harness etc. Its a good deal a lot easier than piecen it together. As the others have said you will need to keep your old fenders to fill in the wholes on the escalade ones.

I saw that they had the kits put are they gm parts ?

My mom has an escalade I wonder if she would notice if some of her front end was missing.
