Well, I'm trying to make my 2000 4x4 2dr Blazer at least look like a ZR2

I wanna put the Zr2 flares and bumpers on the regular 2dr
Is that hard to do?

and then unrelated to the Zr2 thing, What does anyone think of Spyder Halo headlights and if they are crap, does anyone have any recommendations, fairly priced...
THANKS

a zr2 "conversion" can be done. i did a how to on the flares.
the bumper swap would be easy.
the suspension could be over come with a 1.5" t-bar crank and 2" rear shackles.

that should do it....toss on a few "zr2" decals from ebay and you are good to go, to the public's eye.

Alright cool, thanks man...

and also,
The plastic rubber trim that runs up the edge of the rear windows...
I'd say its pretty popular that these get sun damaged and and faded, any way to replace or refinish them??

See that ZR2?


It's not, he did the write-up on the flares on his blazer. I believe it's an LS, like mine but I have 4" wide Flexi-Flares.
His looks much better.

ok yeah, cuz I'd think replacement is pretty impossible cuz they are riveted on and seemingly behind the window...

I don't wanna sound like an annoying noob, but with a faulty internet and so many different things on the web this works out perfectly.
THANKS

thanks rottidog...

yup its an LS that thinks its a ZR2....i should throw some "ZR2" decals on...that would probably get a...oh..huuuhhhh???

not to hard to do actually...surprised its not done more often.
i think the worst part is just finding the stupid flares at a decent price.

My pleasure Jared, your LS looks GOOD! But one thing anyone that has a blazer or knows something about blazers - how many ZR2's are 4 doors? Still makes em go hmmmm though I'm sure.
