I would like it to look a lot like lenny's ride when i'm done, but i think i want to limit my trail lights to the brush guard... I think for the basket I have an idea that could pan out and look 'different'. hell worst case senario it looks like total *** and i have a bunch of holes drilled into my basket

Here is a shot of my partial face lift project that i have doing and hiding from prying Canadian eyes.... not done and needs a little touch up but making progress.

Lund Interceptor bug deflector bed lined.
Every thing I do makes me hate these lights just that much more. I think i'm gonna track down some stock jobs soon...

Hey the front grill looks sweet black, paint out the chrome headlight bezels & that will change the look of the lights. The spots would look awsome if you cut them into the airdam on the roofrack.

Now I see why what you were doing was such a secret!! DAMN that looks good Curtis. Lose that silly bug guard and you'd have a sweet looking ride on your hands! Love the blacked out grille. Much better. 100% improvement .
You need to paint the rims now, and as foxxie said black out those lights. Then you'd have a BA (or BAMF for you Dane Cook lovers) ride on your hands!! . It's coming along very nicely.

#1 rangerG the only chrome on this thing will be the door rocker tirm if there is no gun metal left over after i redo the wife's summer wheels.

As for the grille i still have to sand out all of the grass stll stuck in it from the fall. the head light bezels are on deck. I will try to get the tow hooks at the same time. I will need more UC though. one of my cans was plugged and i used 1.5 of the other 2 on the roof rack, grille and toning down the shine on the skid plate. .5 cans should get me through touch up and final coat of the grille. I should get 4 more cans for the rest (light bezels, hooks, antenna, brush guard, frame rails, differential, wheel wells)

As much as i would love to cut out slot in the air damn, i can not. it pivots down so i can load long things (lumber) on the rack between the slots. I was going to mount the lights UNDER the front bar so they sit under the air dam but abocve the cab.
in this pattern: \.\ |.| |.| /./ ... and 2 in the rear

Alex, bug guard stays, and the next step is to get the splash guards mounted. You will probably love those too Alex.

So not only do you have the old man/family/soccer mom/grocery getter 4 door Blazer (no offense to all you 4 drs...it's a joke!) but you insist of throwing a fugly bug guard on it to make your truck even more geriatric? I can't believe you call your truck my trucks big American brother

Curtis, love the grille, but I must agree with Alex, LOSE the bug guard its hideous. Even the lights arent that bad, but blacking them out would be sweet. You did a good job hiding it too lol, not you wont scare away everyone you approach with your grille.

NOW you need a new sig too Alex jump on it. Make sure to add his wifes amazing custom door work in the paint.
