I'm not digging the fender that has a high spot above the wheels and is lower by the cab as well as at the front of the hood

Re: Front End Conversion's

heres a how-to on the colorado front end conversion... found it a while ago, i had actually though about doing this on my 1st gen before i seen anyone else had done it... i can get a front clip for 1200$ cnd..(hood, fenders, grill, lights, bumper..ect)

Chevy S-10 – Custom 2005 Chevy Colorado Front End Makeover– Mini Truckin

the bumper they made is gross though, imo

pretty much the only one i like better than a stock front end, this looks slick. most of the other ones are just a huge wast of time and effort, and a lot of bad work.

Would look okay if the fenders matched up, fixed the grill, and get rid of that damn YELLOW core support.
