Up here in canada its a ZR2 with some extra graphics. Similar to the cavalier Z22 no different than a standard 2.2L cavalier.

Personally Id take a 2nd gen over a first gen any day. My 91 was fun, granted it was a 4 door, But my ZR2 is far superior!

It's a made up conglomeration of trim tags that never existed combined (nor should it).

Your truck is a ZR2. Not an Xtreme. The Blazer Xtremes were lowered 2dr 2wds with a ground effects package on them.

Simple, someone added vinyl to the side of your truck. It is not factory installed trim nor is it a ultra rare trim level all to it's own. That's all that is being stated. Your truck is a ZR2, period.

No, it is NOT stock. That is the whole point. Someone ADDED them after the truck rolled off the factory assembly line & was delivered to the dealership that ordered it. It still doesn't make it a 'Xtreme ZR2. If it helps you sleep at night or justify how much you paid for it, good for you, but we know better.

Put it this way, if I added a freightliner emblem to the front of my lawn mower, should I claim it was a freightliner? No. Reason is because everyone that knows better would think I was an idiot. Kinda like what's beginning to happen here.

This is a real Blazer Xtreme btw:

Notice the difference?

Ok thank you for the clarification but how many average people like myself are supposed to know any different when other vehicles with gfx packages on them have carbon fiber styled dashs and felt sticker things on the headrests. Im sure if I were to ask everyone at my school a total of about 1000 people who could tell me that.
