Default Cadillac conversion

I was wondering what the interest would be in the 08-11 caddy front end conversion would be. I'm thinking about making one up.

I like the 99-00 one myself, nice and subtle. All you d have to do is lose the overt GMC cues. Like an easy bolt on grille cover, done in 93 Cadillac Deville style. Or like an 81 Fleetwood. Maybe with headlight lens that put the turn signal on top or on the inside of the assembly. And 09 CTS style taillights.

I guess right now the decision is to see how much people would pay for one, and how much my overhead costs would be. The biggest problem with the conversion would potentially be the headlight... There maybe some modification to the core support needed

If you re good with plastics I d recommend interior trim pieces. I could use a center console that can maximize space with a bench seat.

I'm very interested in a factory console to replace the 20% seat and wanna be console in my 2010 Reg Cab WT version that I am modifying.
