Smile New grille yay!

I finally got a new grille for my Blazer. Its a unpainted (for now) non-oe Extreme grille...$48 shipped on ebay.



BTW my blazer looked like this when I bought it almost a year ago:


Gonna get Extreme wheels from a guy after x-mas and drop it 2 inches...then a hood...then a new left fender... then a much needed paint job.

How'd it fit? Always wondered how those ebay things fit.

Why on earth would you want to lower a 4x4? That's for 2wd trucks! You gotta go UP! LOL

I was thinking the same thing. There was another post earlier today talking about lowering a 4x4. I wanted to say something, just couldn't bring myself to be the first to mention it.

To each his own, but I don't see the point of dropping a 4x4.

go look at 2wd offset vs 4x4.... xtreme wheels have different offset than 4x4 blazers, they WILL stick out. maybe you should take your advice.

ABN31B: Yea it snapped off when it was wrecked I guess. I'll get a new one next time I'm in the junkyard lol and yea the grilles gonna look sick, I just have to decide on paint color...

88s10Blazer: Fit fine which surprised me lol. It came from Cali but was made in Taiwan. Pretty good deal for $48 with free shipping (my fiancée could fit in the box lol).

kiwiblazer & degaine_designs: Same reason everyone else on here that wants to lower there 4x4 gives, I want it to look good but still have the 4x4 for the winter. Arkansas never gets snow, but we get ice lol. But IDK I may raise it in the end.

01vortec: WOW thanks for telling me that. I never thought about them being different, I just figured they would all be the same. But I checked it out and your right, guess I'll just spend my $225 elsewhere.
