I want to debadge my 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer LT 4x4 4-doors. I wonder which I could take off. Here are the pictures of my Blazer. I am going all black out on the Blazer.

I did this with my 98 LS 4 door, it was relatively simple albeit time consuming.
Used a heat gun to loosen up the foam sticky material underneath of the rear badges and all the side trim, then used fishing line and pulled the trim off.
Left a ton of the sticky gunk that they use to adhere it to the car however. That I took care of with almost a whole bottle of goo gone and a credit card and my thumb nail.
The trim on the back side bumpers will have three holes in it I believe, haven't gotten to it on mine because I don't have the time right now to take the bumpers off and fill the holes.
It took about 3 hours total for the trim on all the doors and removing the badges on the back.
Do be careful removing the door ones though, mine had some dirt that got under the adhesion material and it made a 2" x 1" oblong chip in the paint come off.. not sure if it was anything that could have been prevented though so just a warning.
That was the only problem I had doing the whole car though

I read somewhere and have seen the people that cut and trimmed the valance off, when some people do that, they can take off the trim. Otherwise I think it's important to the front bumper structurally.

Nah, I think the best bet for the front bumper would be to get a street scene one or an Xtreme bumper.

My valnce was broke so Icut it so there was only a plate holder. As for the bumper, I roughed it up with 220 sandpaper and painted it and the front grill black, looks sharp

Ooo I kinda like the black instead of the chrome for the bumper, but I don't think I could cut off my valance as I'm not too sure how it would look on my lowered one, especially with the giant silver skid plate right in the front haha
I guess you did paint yours black also huh?

The trim on the back that have 3 holes in it. I was think about pulling it off and put lights (square trailer lights lens) on there to cover the holes? If do which color light I use amber or red?

if your gonna do that why not just buy a led tailgate light bar to cover the holes?
