Default Head/tail lights, hood or brush kit?

Well seeing that i finally got my ZR2 blazer, i want to put some extras on it to give it a better look. I am thinking of going with some smoked tail/head lights with the window deflector things ( just drew a blank of actual name lol). But i was also thinking of getting some hood scoops also. The car currently has 33inch tires on it so tires are good and everything. There is a little rust on the spare tire holder but that is going to get taken care of once i put it on the road.

Here is a picture:

Does anyone else have any ideas? I wanna add a brush kit to it also but i dont know if i can afford that seeing im only 16 and in school so can't get a job at the moment. I have about 300 saved up so far. And ideas would help also.

Those don't look like 33's... Looks like that's stock with 31x10.50s (I don't even think Radial Long Trails come in 33s..)

ANYWAY.. You might wanna look into a bull bar instead of a full brush guard. Should be a little cheaper, give you a great spot to mount a pair of lights, and beef up the front end protection.

Just be careful on the tail lights...alot of the cheaper tails will stuff 2 bulbs into one housing, instead of having one housing/reflector for each bulb. 2 bulbs to a housing gets too hot and will destroy the lens.

Your right, i must have heard the guy wrong, the sizes you posted was right lol. Anyway, i still like them, maybe when they wear down ill put some bigger ones on.

I keep changing my mind and everything i want to do to my car lol. I go from no subs, to subs, from no brush kit, to brush kit. I seem to change my mind every day. As for tail lights, im getting those done, headlights can stay there fine. Interior neon is going to get done no matter what. But everything else (hood,grille,subs,speakers) is flip flopping. Can anybody who has done upgrades tell me what they like/disliked about them and there input?

For the tail lights, im not ordering new ones, im just getting the originals custom painted with Chevy logos and 'ZR2' written, 2002XTREME is doing the painting on the head lights... His work looks amazing
