Ok, I'm addicted. I bought it from JP Customs in Fulshear, TX which is about an hour from me. I was just gonna buy a painted handle and bezel, but I wanted it to match my door handles and being that Escalades didn't have tailgates, GM doesn't offer a matching handle/bezel. Of course, since the company who manufactures it (Grippin) is the only one who does, its pricey. $180 + tax. Anyhow, it was expensive but I had to have it. So let me know what you think. Thanks.

It looks good. Is it a billet handle or chromed plastic?




Don't worry about what we all think. I'm sure we've all burned $180 on something before....:rolleyes: Right Wasted? ):h

It is pricey no doubt, but I had to have it as no one else makes one. The handle/arms are billet aluminum and the handle is chromed. Both have to be replaced as the stock plastic handle and arms are both one piece.

if they are billet pieces, then $180 is reasonable.

It's not *so* bad if it's billet.
