I think they would match pretty well. Bushwackers on my truck

I know of a Blazer that painted "faux" flare on his baja front fenders. That looked pretty good.

BOY! You work fast! You know that we NEED pictures, right?

Nice!
Before you ditch the front fenders, try something. Get a "rattle can" of bed liner or Semi-gloss black paint. Mask off your front fenders flare and paint them. You have little , or nothing to lose.

I found a couple pictures of SBG's Blazer with that done:

BTW, Who did your sliders? Would they consider making a set for my truck just like them?

I may be able to work up some specs.
Look around and see if you can find a 2004-2005 with out body cladding to act as a template. Suburbans should be the same as mine has no body hardware.

How much you want for the glass fenders ? Silver would line up with yellow just fine, for the right price. :wink:

It seems to me that lots of cutting was required to mount the Glassworks fenders. Are you sure that you can go back to stock fenders?
