CADILLAC

ESCALADE

2023

Why I made the upgrade

Driving a black Cadillac Escalade already feels commanding — but in my eyes, it still needed more presence. Too many SUVs in the same color look alike on the streets of Germany. I wanted mine to make a statement: sharper, darker, and more exclusive. That’s when I decided on a LARTE Design gloss black body kit.

The configuration

Together with my manager, we built a setup that emphasized strength without going overboard: front splitter, side skirts, a new grille, diffuser, and roof spoiler. All in deep gloss black, blending perfectly with the body. The final touch was the set of LARTE forged wheels, which look like they’re moving even when the car is standing still.

Installation in Düsseldorf

The parts arrived well-packed, every piece labeled. At the installation center in Düsseldorf, everything fit immediately — no trimming, no extra adjustments. Even the technicians were impressed, saying it looked like it had rolled out of the factory that way.

The result

When I picked it up, I just stood there for a few minutes, looking at it. The Escalade had transformed into something far more aggressive, but still refined. The gloss black accents give it depth and a sense of power — like the whole SUV had been sculpted out of one block.

Now, every time I drive it, I see people turning their heads. Friends and business partners call it “the boss’s car.” And to me, that’s exactly what I wanted: not just an SUV, but my Escalade.
