Picture #2, it's like they're identical twins.
The car looks good, but is it just the pictures (19-20-21) or are the headlights really yellow?

Thanks for the compliments! The Trailblazer is my dad's but I've been posting on the forum for about 6 years. My parents decided to buy me the car since I've been commuting back/forth from University for the past 5 years, about 2 hours each way.

I put some yellow tint over the headlights to make it stand out more. I like them and I don't. The tint was $4 off ebay and I put it on myself. It gets some attention, but I don't know if I would keep it for more than a few more weeks. We shall see.

Next mods are LED interior lights and maybe carbon fibre hood/roof vinyl wrap. I'm also looking to fabricate my own sway bar :undecided:

As for mods, I cut out the welded muffler outlet and pulled out all the fibreglass packing. On the T5 turbo, they have dual exhaust tips, but on the 2.4 they weld one side shut. Easy $2 mod :biggrin:

I would be careful with carbin fiber, it starts to turn yellows green when sitting in the sun for sometime

That takes me back a bit. Back when I lived in the UK, if you wanted to take your car to Europe you either had to paint your headlights yellow like this, or put a black plastic adhesive strip on the headlights that prevented the beams from blinding the oncoming Frenchies..!!

Very Swedish pic outside of Ikea, with the Swedish flag for hub centers and all. :smile:

That was the idea when taking the pics :biggrin: The centrecap stickers were about $2 each off ebay. They're exterior grade and very sticky!

Nice Volvo! What the hell is that in the background?!?!? :tongue:

From what I know it is a minor league hockey team in Toronto called the Toronto Maple Leafs . You might have heard of them they usually lose their games and give away the good players and then give big contracts to the useless ones:yes::yes:

ROTFL!! So true! On a side note, if you know what "roll up the rim" is, then you'll love this!
