Looks sweet. Not as clean as these though:

Wondering when a kit will come out as it does seem that there is a lot of people doing it. I've been thinking about swapping the front clip for a Hombre since it will match the rear bed better.

Cheers,

That is pretty sweet. do you know how much modification has to be done or would the t-blazer front clip just bolt on

Only did a quick look but it appears it would need some major(unless you have a body shop in your backyard) sheet metal mods to the two front side fenders, hood, and lower/rework the front s10 bumper. Looks like some have swapped both the grill and front bumper from a t-blazer. Appears the only thing that works is that the grill is about the same width as the s10 and that's about it.

It does freshen the look of the s10 but don't think I would do this unless a true conversion kit comes out. Looking through other forums, it appears the people who have done this conversion is mums about the info. Don't blame them as they want to be unique and not give away their secrets.

What about a colorado frunt clip?? has any one seen that on a s10 I know it will still need many mods but i think that I like it better

Don't think it will be as easy as the T-blazer front as the grill looks much larger than the t-blazer so major mods might be needed. Also I don't think it will flow as good as the t-blazer conversion.

walked by an envoy today and took a close look at the front end. The hood looks to be similar width wise. 1/4 panels have same shell design for the headlights and could easily cut both the s-10s and the trailblazers in half and welded together. Brackets are pretty simple to make for the grill and I am assuming all electrical components/crash sensors(if we have any) can easily be reconnected. A confident auto body specialist could easily do that in a couple days...looks good though
