Default denali or escalade front?

i'm planning on converting my front end either a Denali front or a 01-up Escalade, can't decide i like both but what do u guys think looks best?
I have a 01 sierra ext.cab stepside.
by the way, if i decideon swaping to escalde, do u guys know what parts i need to get? i don't want to get the kit coz i think i can get the parts cheaper if i get em separatly.

for the money i would do the caddy. due to the fact that it looks Different,
the denali looks too close to stock. then again it depends on where you are goin. a truck w denali conversion looks so freakin clean.

WAIT... is 01 when the new bodystyle escalades came out? bc i hate the edge front end w a round back end, it kills the flow of the body lines and i just read that you are a stepside.

MY VOTE DENALI

Denali with a stepside it would look goofy with the boxy esc front end and the smooth curved back end.

I think the Esky front end is becoming played out anyway.

If you decide to do the esky I think a fleetside bed will look alot sleeker. But with the denali clip I think the stepside will look just fine. I've seen both clips been done and both beds and the denali always looks good on either bed.The esky just dosent look right to me on a sportside bed.
