Cadillac Customization Kansas City

We install wheels from 22 to 28 inches on the Cadillac Escalade. The most popular sizes are 24-inch and 26-inch. The factory Escalade comes with 22-inch wheels on a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a 78.1mm hub bore. We carry 22-inch for a subtle upgrade, 24-inch for the most popular look, 26-inch for a commanding stance, and 28-inch for maximum presence. Tire sizes scale accordingly — 305/35R24, 295/30R26, and 295/25R28 are common pairings. Every package includes mounting, road force balancing, TPMS sensor programming, and test fitting for proper fender clearance. Leveling kits available if needed for larger wheel sizes.

For the CT5-V Blackwing with the supercharged 6.2L LT4, we install cat-back exhaust systems and axle-back exhausts from Corsa, Borla, Stainless Works, and Kooks. The Corsa Xtreme delivers an aggressive V8 note with zero drone on the highway. The Borla ATAK provides maximum volume for track days. For the CT4-V Blackwing with the twin-turbo 3.6L V6, Corsa Sport and Borla S-Type are popular choices that add a deeper, more refined tone. We also offer electronic valve exhaust systems that let you toggle between quiet and loud modes. Pricing ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 installed depending on brand and configuration.

Absolutely. The Escalade's factory AKG Studio Reference system is decent, but it leaves significant room for improvement — especially in the subwoofer and amplifier departments. We install full speaker replacements with Focal, JL Audio, and Audison components. Custom subwoofer enclosures designed specifically for the Escalade's cargo area add the low-end impact that the factory system lacks. Amplifier upgrades from JL Audio HD and Audison Voce series double or triple the factory power. DSP tuning calibrates the entire system for the Escalade's large cabin. Pricing ranges from $800 for a subwoofer add-on to $4,000+ for a complete system overhaul. All installs integrate with the factory CUE infotainment — no loss of controls or Bluetooth functionality.

PPF pricing for Cadillacs depends on the vehicle size and coverage area. A full front-end package (hood, fenders, front bumper, mirrors, and headlights) on a CT5 or CT4 runs $1,800 to $2,800. The same package on an Escalade or Escalade ESV runs $2,500 to $3,500 due to the significantly larger panel sizes. Full-body PPF wraps range from $5,000 to $8,000+ depending on the model. We use XPEL Ultimate Plus and SunTek Ultra — both offer self-healing properties, 10-year warranties, and optically clear finishes that will not yellow or peel. PPF is especially recommended for the Escalade's large, flat hood and front fenders where highway rock chips are most common.

A chrome delete replaces or covers the factory chrome trim with a satin black, gloss black, or color-matched finish. On the Escalade, this covers the grille surround, window trim, door handles, roof rails, lower bumper trim, and Cadillac emblems. The result is a clean, modern, blacked-out appearance that pairs perfectly with dark wheels. On the CT5-V and CT4-V, chrome delete on the grille, window surrounds, and exhaust tips creates a sinister look. We use premium 3M 2080 and Avery Dennison vinyl for durability and UV resistance. A full chrome delete on an Escalade takes one full day and runs $800 to $1,500 depending on the scope. The look is dramatic and one of our most popular Cadillac services.

Yes. The Lyriq is Cadillac's luxury EV and we offer a full range of cosmetic and protection upgrades. Aftermarket wheels in 21 to 22-inch sizes with EV-rated tires that maintain range efficiency. Ceramic coating and PPF to protect the factory paint. Window tint for UV protection, heat rejection, and privacy. Chrome delete for a stealth appearance. Interior ambient lighting upgrades. We do not modify the Lyriq's battery system, Ultium drivetrain, or charging components — our focus is on appearance and protection upgrades that enhance the vehicle without affecting the EV powertrain or warranty coverage.

Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealership cannot void your entire warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. They can only deny a specific claim if they prove the aftermarket part directly caused the failure. Wheels, exhaust systems, audio upgrades, window tint, PPF, and ceramic coating rarely present warranty issues. We use quality parts from reputable manufacturers and install everything to proper specifications. For V-Series owners concerned about powertrain warranty, cosmetic and bolt-on exhaust modifications are generally considered safe. We are happy to discuss any specific warranty concerns before starting your build.

Timelines depend on the scope of your build. A wheel and tire swap with TPMS programming takes 1 to 2 hours. An exhaust install on a CT5-V Blackwing runs 2 to 4 hours. A full chrome delete on an Escalade takes a full day. Audio system overhauls range from 4 hours for a subwoofer add-on to a full day for a complete speaker, amp, and DSP build. PPF front-end packages take 1 to 2 days for film application and curing. Ceramic coating requires 1 to 3 days depending on paint correction needs. For multi-service builds (wheels + chrome delete + tint + ceramic), we can often schedule everything within 2 to 3 days. Call 913-291-2027 to schedule and we will have everything ready for your drop-off.
