Whatcha think now that it has some nice 18s?

Oh man, that thing is just about perfect. Your customization is not over the top and it is just about right.

. . . although it would have looked better if it were 3 ft higher off the ground and you were sitting on 28" tires for those 18" wheels

Keep up the good work and save that money that used to go up in smoke.

Here is the upgraded Cold air intake. I can't believe the difference it made for performance.

Looks very nice Nathan! Just like Jay said not over the top. And is that an Optima lurking over there in the battery tray? They are the only kind that I will use anymore.

Looks very nice. To be honest, I would have never guessed those rims were 18's. Maybe 20's could be a possible upgrade in the future.

Looking cool there Nate!
Do you do a lot of 'drive-by' type stuff?....

I agree on the rims, they look great but I'm shure you could stuff a set of 20s under those arches.
Have you thought about using a 'forced' cold air intake (or has that thing got a blower on it?), K&N have some nice kit. :)

20's would be hard to do with a blazer without a little modification. They would most likely rub against the wheel well when you turn unless you get very low profile tires. Definately worth looking into. 20's look very nice on a dropped blazer!

Nah they fit without mods. Just can't have anything over a 55 profile. But something like 245/55/R20's would definately fit under there. (A friend of mine had the same size, thats why I am so sure) But then again it might inhibit you from dropping it later, if you were ever planning on it.

Buuuuttt.... I am not going to sit here and criticize something you just did to your vehicle. It looks good.

Nice Nate! Dropping her a few inches and adding some skirting would make her look beefier. Like the cold air intake, bet she flies

gotta keep it tastefull....by the time you put on "20's", you may as well make them spoked daytons and get gold teeth.

What i mean is you are keepin it real. Don't drop it....that'd be silly....unless you got an air-ride system....

It is going to be dropped 3 inches for this spring.

Should look awesome.

Updated stuff:

I Ported the Subwoofer box
18s now have center caps

More to come soon but I might be selling it seeing it is so hard on fuel.

I have been driving a 1999 Honda Civic EX loaded and it gets 37MPG when I am flying along at 130km/h plus it is a helluvalot more peppy.

there are ways to improve fuel consumption. Does it have direct fuel injection? If it does get the mix tweaked so you run more on fumes, that should give you a sizable increase in fuel efficiency

thats a VORTEC motor and they use C.P.I. central port injection. There are two large main injectors that feed all six cyclinders.
