I know of a Blazer that painted "faux" flare on his baja front fenders. That looked pretty good.
BOY! You work fast! You know that we NEED pictures, right?

Nice!
Before you ditch the front fenders, try something. Get a "rattle can" of bed liner or Semi-gloss black paint. Mask off your front fenders flare and paint them. You have little , or nothing to lose.
I found a couple pictures of SBG's Blazer with that done:

BTW, Who did your sliders? Would they consider making a set for my truck just like them?

Re: Spare parts from ThunderII
I may be able to work up some specs.
Look around and see if you can find a 2004-2005 with out body cladding to act as a template. Suburbans should be the same as mine has no body hardware.
Sick with the flu, I am off to bed. More later...

Re: Spare parts from ThunderII
How much you want for the glass fenders ? Silver would line up with yellow just fine, for the right price.michaelhrgn wrote:put the rear flares on my crew last night they look great!!! iam thinking of swaping out my fiberglass fronts for stock fenders with bushwackers one day,, i know you have had both hj do you think they would kinda match?

Re: Spare parts from ThunderII
It seems to me that lots of cutting was required to mount the Glassworks fenders. Are you sure that you can go back to stock fenders?

Re: Spare parts from ThunderII
well did a really quick tape and spray on the front ( flat black )looks like a can of spray bed liner might fit the bill well , but iam still undecided,
