Does anyone know where can purchease replacement body moldings. You know, the ones that are supposed to stop door dings.

Dealer... That said, most of us shave all the molding off because it looks horrible even new...(see my website for shaved molding at www.pghconsulting.net/teal

Since my Blazer was getting painted anyways, plus I had new fenders on without the molding I just took mune right off.

But I wasn't living in a city at the time, so it wasn't too likely that my Blazer would get dinged up too badly unless I did it

Ok, im no big fan of those ugly things either but i like the idea of exposed mounting holes even less. Assuming that those are mounted with snaps instead of adheasive.. I know that the mouldings that wrap around the tail and nose are "snapped" into holes in the body. Are the ones on the doors the same or do they jsut peel and stick on?

No, the doors are simple adheasive... Agree about the holes, but on my rear bumper end caps I had them filled then painted. Front bumper got replaced anyway when I did the 98+ nose job, so I bought the bumper without the holes...

I love the 98 front end you installed! Were there any modifications needed or was the newer stuff just a bolt on? I have been looking at doing the newer front end (95 headlights are completly unadjustable) cause it looks better and i can perpetrate like i have a newer model.. HEHEHEHE ! I like the sound of BlazerLT's exhaust and i also want to do the cold air FIPK kit but i cant seem to find them on the net?

Bolt on...Parts needed

Core support
Grille
Headlights (I used TYC Crystal clears)
Park/Blinker lights (I used APC clears that accomodated the fogs)
Bumper
Valance
