The major drawback with the escalade knobs are that the headlight knob IS NOT sold seperately, you have to buy the entire switch which is about $40.
I went with the billetpro knobs for more of a custom look, and at $54 a set including the headlight knob its cheaper than the escalde knobs anyway.

Well whatever. I like them and I will be spending the $90 from Pendlum to get them so I don't have to worry about getting the part numbers or shipping. Yes I'm that lazy and yes I'm not cheap. :read: :rocking:

Regardless, they are still a factory piece. And most of the people I know would have no idea Cadillac doesn't make a scsb if you did it up right. There's no arguement here, I'm just saying....any which way you put it, alot of modifications are just stock parts from another vehicle...that doesn't change the fact I think they look cooler than stock chevy knobs. End of story :tongue:

I have seen this topic quite a few times here, and I will finally add my opinion.
I like the original the best. I wear gloves a lot (cold here in MN) and it is easier to turn the factory ones with the gloves on, and to be completely honest, I don't like the looks of the other two, especially the billet ones. Just looks really gaudy to me having these big chrome knobs in the truck while everything else is grey plastic or whatever.
Ok, been wanting to say that for a while. :)

I guess my 2002 caddy clip, handles, and guages, interior handles, emblems, center console, (Future caddy seats) are not "CUSTOM" enough for badass... Oh ya whats sooo... custom about your truck??

You obviously missed my point. I'm trying to say that just because you're using stock parts doesn't make it 'not' custom. It started with that one dude saying he saw no point in upgrading his "stock knobs" to other "stock knobs." What you're trying to say I said is quite the opposite. I'm big on using stock parts from other vehicles ...esp ones that are a direct swap. :rocking: I'd love to do a full Escalade conversion like yours. In fact if anyone ever wrecks into me I'll more than likely do it. :D
BTW, F you if you don't think my truck is custom. It's not even close to stock. :middle:
EDIT, after re-reading this thread I don't know why you're trying to attack me. Sounds to me like you need to re-read this thread and actually pay attention to what the f*ck you're looking at this time around. :mad:

Alright kiddies, we can stop arguing on a thread over fuggin AC knobs. BADASS, I dont care what you spend your money on. I was just stating my opinion that I prefer the billet knobs over the escalades. They just look more 'custom" to me and add a really nice accent to my interior which is otherwise totally stock.

It's all good. When someone gives you $hit about your truck, they may as well say it to me too. We're both pretty much in the same situation....Grey chevy, 20's, 2" shackles (for now), window tint and a Sir Mikes rollpan. We both know that if we had the money, we'd be layin frame just like everyone else.
