Well A couple of you know me some members here have inspired me to start a LS/SS Clone. As I have progress I will update. I just got this one today and am open to suggestions. I will be keeping my Roof Rack sorry everyone but I use it actually on my EXT so I know I will use it on the LS. In the last photo for day one, there is an antenna I have a question about. Now this is my first OnStar equipped vehicle and I was told this is the antenna for it. Am I right to assume this? I don't want the antenna there so must I have it? Or does it have anything to do with OnStar?
Year: 2002
Model: Trailblazer LS
Color: Summit White
Mileage: 151315
Day 1:
Removed "Chevrolet", "LS", and all Dealership Decals
Started work on removing Pin Striping.
Cleaned the inside and outside.
Day 2: Will consist of Removing the Running boards, the rest of the pin striping, and the moldings. (By the way if anyone has tips on taking of moldings, pin-striping, and running boards that have been on there since it was new, then please help. Also for now Touch up paint for the chipped areas.
Day 1's Photos (Black Specs are Chips into the paint already there when I got it):
Day 2: Progress Well today it was raining so no hands on work occured, but ordered some of my SS badges. Here is what I have so far. For the GM Performance Division ones I got two the big 3" one and the 2" one also. So I guess I will figure out where to put the extra one. I also got two of the door "SS" ones also.
Doors:
TailGate Badges:
Of Course in this last one I will not put the LS part on there.
Day 3: Progress... Weather Crappy, but cleared up long enough for me to do this.
1. Well I removed my old "TrailBlazer" Badge
2. Molding Delete
3. Running Board Delete
Also since I removed the moldings I cleaned the area up the best I could but still I have these black lines. Thought they were dirt, but no matter how hard I rub or polish on it they don't go away. Any suggestions? Will paint the Rockers tomorrow, and if I can figure out how to disassemble the mirror caps them also. Anybody know if there is a market for selling my moldings? They came off without bending or breaking.

Day 4:
1. OnStar Antenna Delete (Just removed both window pieces and stuffed the cable in the headliner, and OnStar still works!)
2. Deep Stain and upholstery cleaning
3. Removed the dirt lines that formed around the moldings. (Yes I actually found that gumout products has something to remove it with a rough pad or cloth.)
4. Still have to find out why my sunroof tries to go back crooked. (Still didn’t figure this out today.)
5. Removed pin striping.
6. Fixed my center console lid which was sagging down in the middle, I guess someone DDTed it.(Everywhere there is a glue line there was a crack. It was a puzzle piece putting it back together.)
