smoothie bumper?

I want to keep the factory blue airdam underneath my front bumper when i shave the truck, i just want to get rid of the black strip that is on the actual bumper itself. does anyone make a bumper so i can do this, or how can i achieve what I want? I am also going to shave all the door moldings and the fender well moldings. the only thing i want to keep is that blue airdam.

Pic of the truck:

Re: smoothie bumper?

you need the first bumper on top, it has no holes in it and will be seen, then there is a valence that goes below it, check your junkyards they should be everywhere

with the molding....that SHOULD pull off, some of it had holes beneith it but most of them are just stuck on, and the wheel well molding just unscrews, nothing to shave there, nice truck tho, get a 3m eraser wheel and go to town

Re: smoothie bumper?

Re: smoothie bumper?

If you can find the other style blue valence and a chrome bumper with no holes, it would look tits.

Kinda off topic, do you live in ohio? I swear I saw that exact same truck today

Re: smoothie bumper?

you'll just have to paint the grey one to match because they don't make the the colored plastic ones anymore

Re: smoothie bumper?

i think most 98+ s-10's and blazers had that style...i think the style you have is an appearance package option

I think the blazers had ones that matched all the time and it was an option for the trucks. But i've never seen a space blue s10 without a blue valence.
