This worth the money?

Gearstix · 08-09-2008, 03:41 AM

http://s10lade.com/ I really like these kits, but are they worth the $2700? its worth more than my truck as it sits.
Is it basically a factory caddy headlight set, grille and bumper sectioned to fit, and modified hood/fenders?
I'm thinking about a front end swap because I'm having a hard time finding bumpers and stuff for the front of mine.

im kinda interested in it myself but they say the whole thing is fiberglass so do they mean fiberglass hood and fenders too?

Gearstix · 08-09-2008, 03:56 AM

Im also wondering with like TB front swaps, when you mold the fenders to make them fit the lights, do you guys roll the lip like the stock fender or do you just leave it sheet metal

Mikey08 · 08-09-2008, 05:45 AM

I really hope you are joking...

Let's get this straight, you drive an S10, S10's are linked with their own kind and blazers, not esclades, never should anything from an escalde end up on your S10

InfamousMini · 08-10-2008, 05:39 AM

I plan on doing this conversion on my blazer. Just gotta wait till some money frees up haha.

Gearstix · 08-10-2008, 04:16 PM

I was considering this as an option, since its hard to find a front bumper assembly for my truck, and I need a few other front end parts.

At least if I were to do this, its a GM front end, not a eclipse or F-250..

dropped4doorblaze · 08-11-2008, 12:15 PM

so because you cant find a bumper for your truck your buying a $2700 font end lol and i dont care for them kits but if you like it get it

Gutling · 08-11-2008, 12:30 PM

Its your truck, is it worth $2700 bucks to you?
IMO its ugly, conversions = teh suk

tscustoms · 08-11-2008, 05:00 PM

not to much on the conversion my self. but its your truck and thats what you want id say go for it. the way i see things you build your truck for yourself not everyone else

BaggedOn420s · 08-11-2008, 05:58 PM

please dont do it. you will be laughed at. even by the mexicans

InfamousMini · 08-11-2008, 08:44 PM

^ what the ****?

You could call up a way over priced place like say LMC, get a new core support of w/e S series you like, what ever S series grille and corresponding lights you like the best, What ever S series Bumper and air dam you want (or bumper cover w/e), have it all painted to match and still be WELL under that $3000 price tag and look ten times better then that shit show of a front end. Hell you could probably have a decent shop do what ever custom front end you could think of for near the same price!
