Why Christoph decided to customize his Cadillac Escalade

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.

Why I chose LARTE Design
When researching options for a Cadillac Escalade body kit, LARTE Design stood out immediately. Other solutions felt generic, while LARTE offered a cohesive and aggressive interpretation that respected the Escalade’s proportions. From an ownership perspective, it felt like a brand focused on long-term visual impact and quality rather than short-term styling trends. That confidence made the decision easy.

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.

Assembly and first Impressions
Assembly and first Impressions
After the body kit installation, everything came together smoother than expected. At the installation center in Düsseldorf, the parts fit immediately, without trimming or adjustments. Once the body kit was installed, the Escalade felt cohesive and factory-correct. Looking back, the installation experience confirmed that living with a custom body kit in everyday use is far easier than many people assume.

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.

What changed behind the wheel
What changed behind the wheel
Driving a custom Cadillac Escalade is about scale and authority rather than feedback or speed. In real-world conditions, the SUV doesn’t feel sharper — it feels larger, more dominant, and more deliberate. From a practical standpoint, the experience is defined by how the car controls space around it. Using a customized Cadillac over time changes how traffic reacts, how people look, and how the driver perceives the road itself.

My Cadillac Escalade body kit has fully settled into the vehicle’s image. The finish and proportions remain consistent in real-world use, without visual fatigue or loss of impact. Looking back, this configuration proved to be a structural choice rather than a styling experiment — one that reinforces presence instead of chasing attention.

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.
