Default my small project

This will be a quick run through of the stuff I have done to the Blazer since 2005. There is nothing major, just small little changes that rarely get noticed

The Blazer when I first saw it:



Ohhh the Stockness:






First thing I did was clear bumper and corner lenses and K&N Filter


Then a headlight conversion (w/ "city lights") and silver stars for the head and fog lights



Next was the black/red bowtie


Tinted the Windows...believe it was 13% all around over factory


Then decided to add some more lights for backing up (needed after tint)




Then added a back up camera...cool thing is that it picks up wireless signals



Then put an led light bar into the rear impact strip I got from the junkyard



Then painted the chrome fender trim black (notice the gray door handles)


Then painted the door handles and locks


Next it was time for me to tint the taillights (please excuse the dirty 2wd Blazer, it is clean now just haven't had the chance to take more pictures)

what I started with


in progress


after

VERY nice work! Clean truck!

Need to get that bumper trim back on or those holes filed in though.

yeah I'm searching for the one that fits my truck but just don't really want to pay the $80 that I find it for. Haven't found too many junkyards around here either which also hurts the cause
