Anyone Install EXT Door Cladding???

Just got all four door cladding pieces from an Escalade EXT. Has anyone installed them? I have already taken the avalanche cladding off. Is there any other parts that i need to get? It seems as though the doublestick tape is a bit underkill when compared to the 15+ clips on the AV.
 
I'm looking at the EXT cladding on that picture and something seems different to me about the EXT cladding vs Av cladding but I cant put my finger on it (besides the texture itself). does anyone know what it is I'm missing here?
 
Ours has a smaller lip on it than the EXT cladding. The EXT has a more pronounced ledge.

What is that over the wheel wells?

Just painted that way. That's what I was going to do if I'd gotten a cladded Av. Makes it all blend in better.
I think it might look better with the EXT boards on it too. Looks like something missing at the rocker panels.

its the doors 02,

the doors arent ribbed at the bottom...
 
:cry: can someone please tell me where to get ext door cladding pieces and how much they cost
 
Your best bet it to contact one of the suppliers mentioned on this site (eg: VanDevere) to get a cost for the parts. I tried looking them up in the parts list I have but the front door information is suspect and it did not have the rear door EXT part numbers.
 
escalanche:

I picked up all four of my EXT door panels on E-bay, they were brand new and already painted black to match my truck. I paid $140. When i started to put them on I had to modify the door panels a little to get them to fit right at the bottom of the doors because of the mounts for the AV cladding.
 
I'd like to know who else has been successful in installing Escalade EXT cladding on the 1500 series Avalanche. I've got an '03 - I love the kit from Valanca, but I can't afford that. It looks like it would be cheaper to buy Escalade cladding and paint it.
 
i just bought a 2004 AV without caldding.how much is the valanca kit and what is the diffrence? ???
 
the valanca kit is direct cladding replacement peices made out of fiberglass.... http://www.valanca.com/list.php?cart[id]=4

$3900 for the kit, plus prep paint and install (and possibly shipping)

also check the gallery for other pics of it on thier AV's


Dragon I believe is currently the only member of the club with this kit so far...
 
WOW (FALLS BACK AND HITS HIS HEAD). that is a big hole in the pocket. how much would the ext cladding cost. By the way i have been reading lots of post on this site and i would like to thank all of you for helping me chose an AV. I LOVE MY AV. This is a great site and helps ppl like me who need help with parts and mods thanks again.

Yeah. I feel the same way. I'd rather have Escalade EXT door cladding and paint it along with the front and rear bumper covers already on my cladded Avalanche. Too much for the Valanca kit.
