02 Trailblazer Grille Replacement

[ncphotographer]

Is there any way to replace the grille and the long bar that extends to each headlight with something else?

 

[BlazingTrails]

Yes there is. Any trailblazer grill will bolt on. There are ss grills, also 2007 up had no cross bar. But you will need to also replace the headlights with those.

Just research which one you like and bolt/clip it on

If you swap to an LT or SS grille, you will also have to replace your front bumper cover, as those grilles dip down a bit, unlike our LS grilles.

if you're replacing it because it broke, don't feel bad, a lot of us have broken the clips.... you can replace the grill/crossbar assembly for about $60-70 from ebay....

Thanks for the replies everybody......I should have been more detailed in my question.......I'm not a big fan of the crossbar.....I was hoping there was a way to replace it with something different without having to change headlights or bumpers......I like the look of the SS grille with the crossbar better.....but you're telling me if I change to that I'll have to change bumpers as well?

Yes you will need to upgrade your bumper. you can do ss or 2007 up front bumper. the LT's look good.

OK please forgive my stupidity and understanding what probably is the obvious.....but if I want my 02 Trailblazer EXT LT to look like this in the front I'll have to get a new bumper? Does the grille and crossbar come with the bumper or is everything separate? Sorry if I'm being annoying!!

 

[BlazingTrails]

You're fine to ask bro! Yes you will need bumper and grill. They are separate. also you could get the Lt bumper from a 2007 much much cheaper. You can probably find one the right color used.

Very nice!!!! So just to be clear........a 07 Trailblazer LT bumper will fit my 02 Trailblazer EXT LT exactly......and I won't have to change my headlights?

 

[Blckshdw]

You won't HAVE to change your headlights, but you will have those holes in them where the crossbar mounted, and the clip points exposed.

That is correct, I wasn't 100% sure about the bumper support, but according to my research it will bolt directly on.

07 LT Bumper
06-09 SS Grill

And since yours is an LT you should just be able to plug and play the fog lights as well.

Done Deal

Thank you sir very much......now if you'll kindly send me the money for everything I'd appreciate it!!

Just for general info.. Its 06-09 LT's though right?

 

[BlazingTrails]

I was thinking that half of 2006 had the old style. I see a lot off SS in this area that have the old style rear wiper too. I just said 07+ because that's what I was sure of.......

I know this is kinda an old thread but I wanted to clarify something. I have an '02 TB LS and I'd like to change the front out to an envoy front end. So to clarify, all I would need is a later model bumper cover, headlights (was going to change these anyway) and the envoy grille? Also, does the envoy grille come with the GMC logo molded in or is something that bolts to it? Thanks guys!

And also Envoy front fenders (the body lines around the headlight are different) as well as the Envoy hood, since the center section over the grille juts out some. I'm not sure about the header panel, that the headlights clip onto, that may also be different.

Sounds like an expensive conversion for what you get out of it.

 

[combatspace]

It certainly does...yikes.
