Roofracks on...or off

I really like the shaved look that the SS and SRT8 are going for lately, but the blazer is too long and short in my opinion to remove the roof rack. So, I swapped it with the roof rack I had painted to match off of a 2000/escalade/denali.
Here is what the roof rack looks like:
It first PERFECTLY ending just at the back of the sunroof and running right to the end of the roof. When you unscrew the old roof rack, there are screw housings that stick up about 1/4". If you mount this roof rack just outside of those it fits right up against them and aligns perfectly with the edge of the doors and windows. It is hard to describe, but this part should have been OEM on the 4 door s-10s because it just looks incredible and adds about 2" of flat height to my blazer. I will get pics soon!

Wow, you did a great job with the roof racks, they look factory installed from the pic you posted, keep up the good work, I'm still waiting for my Blazer to arrive and I will be keeping the roof racks and maybe putting in a metal mesh box to help hold my stuff in place when going into the back country, I figure if I'm going to have them up there they are going too have to do heavy duty hauling.

Wow I like that Envoy brake light/spoiler. Alot.
And as far as shaving, I like 2-doors shaved, 4-doors just look funny with no rack IMO.

I'll trade you back glasses
looks good though. I like the body molding on the sides of the roof...keeps it from having that funky is-it-too-long-or-not-i-cant-decide look that 4-doors usually have shaved.
