I got a trailblazer and unfortunately, it's a color everybody has so I want to do some things to make it look different. You have some of the exact same things I considered adding. At this point, I'm just going with rims and tinted windows.

I don't know all the tech specs other than it's a v-6 and I love it.

I get "talked" to by the local P.O.'s about just my passenger window being tinted a slight bit. I wanted to match the fronts to the back but its not worth the 75$ ticket (but it will be on my camaro:)) I need rims still they are just shined with an alloy shiner i found.

I think it's the triple whammy factor for you. You're young, male, and driving a red vehicle. Attn-getter.

I've put tinted windows on every vehicle I've owned; never had a problem. I don't foresee that changing. Rims and I'm going to put my old CD changer back in it and that'll be about it for me tho I am debating a color change. I hate that everywhere I go, I'll see the same color trailblazer.

I'm not changing any thing on my truck. If I ever trade it in I don't want to have to take anything off of it I want to keep.

Although I have been considering putting in a different stereo. It doesn't have an aux jack for an mp3 player and the fm tuners aren't very good.

You forgot handsome (kidding, im not that egotistical) and they say its easier being a guy ;)

If you get it re-sprayed make sure its a reputiable place, my friends dad went to some no name shop and a year and a half later it was chipping and peeling.

I need to get my subs fixed seeing how we are on the subject of cd changers

Explorer but if I buy one it will be an inexpensive one I won't mind losing if I trade it in.

I'm gonna talk to my brother about painting my truck. He had his old suburban painted, so I figure I'll go to wherever he recommends. That's not a high priority for me, tho.

My only concern about my CD changer is that it now might be considered too outdated. I don't know. I'll talk to the guys at the shop who'll install it and see if I need a minor upgrade.

Not sure, but only a few years. Somewhere between 5-7. I haven't used it since I got my trailblazer. It's been sitting up for three years.

So... I wanted to ask you.... have you heard about the Dealership in Davie, Fl. They are supposed to be real deal. You buy one Dodge Ram and get another vehicle free. I know scams are scams... but I heard they closed 40 deals already.

Any news?

Thanks

Just curious... not looking for a Dodge.

No Mick. Davie is about 4 hours south of me and have not heard anything about it. I know you can buy a house in Florida and get a Lexus if that helps. :) Buy the house, get a bailout on terms and principal from the govenment and keep the Lexus.
