wow... that looks good. only thing i dont like is that the rpm gauge is white and the rest of the cluster is black and that SS emblem in the middle of the steering wheel is kinda outta place. but other than that, i love them.

i like that door sill too, ive been meaning to look at aftermarket sills for the 99-01's... anyone know of any?

Very nice ride. I've always liked the TB SS. I would only get a TB SS in silver or black. As mentioned previously, I would slap a billet bowtie on the front and be done with the appearance.

You know I didn't even notice the damn thing until I read your post and I've been driving it for a week now. I literaly had to go back and look at the pics to see...Oh, and it also has "Trailblazer SS" in blacked out raised letters on the little cover where the 4WD selector switch goes and I've been thinking about filling it in in white to match...

A little stiffer suspension than the '03 that we had and ALOT more responsive steering, that was one of my biggest pet peeves about the '03, hell my truck had a better on center feel than that one...and of course the acceleration is a hell of alot better, no downshifts needed on the two lane blacktop to pass just ease into the throttle a little and 60 becomes 85 real quick. Almost as quick accel. from a dig as my truck but not quite there, and the shifts could use a little work but all in due time...
