New guy here

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm new here but I've been on a few other forums. I'm driving a 1988 s10 blazer and I'm trying to finish it. It's my low budget truck since I'm on a fixed income. I don't know everything but I do have alot I do know. I just wanted to say hello to everyone.Here's a pic of my ride. [image] [/image]

looks sweet, I love the sunroof.

Hey Thanks. Maybe one day I can make my mirrors fit better then they do.

i likey, welcome

nice lookin truck, welcome to the board

Hey thanks. I'm glad someone likes it. I know alot who don't like it. Thanks again. Hey does anyone know why my other info doesn't show at the bottom of my post.

What other info are you talking about? Did you put it in you sig and save it?
Why dont people like it??

Well my email and my im's don't show up at the bottom and I did put them in my profile. I've had people not like my truck because of the wing, my m3 mirror, and the fender lights. I've shaved what I can on it and they say it doesn't look good. It looks too much like a ricer.

hey man im liking your truck...looks like it has a lot of potential. looking forward to seeing it as it progresses. good luck

Thanks for the comps. But I need to ask something. Do you like it or are you being nice. I've had others tell me it looks to ricey. I don't think it does but that not what others have said.

hiya.. i like the truck, just not that rear spoiler...but thats just my opinion. welcome aboard!!

yea i agree...didn't see it before but im not big on the spoiler

Ok I can take the critizim But I was wandering about the reason you don't like the wing? I only put it on so the top would look different and I was able to find the texas tail that I wanted. I've heard it before and I was just wandering what your reason was.

i dunno. just not a fan. i like a nice smooth look. but thats just me.

Your not the only one. Alot of other people have said the same thing. But why does everyone like the smooth look so much. I mean what happened to people wanting to stand out from the rest. I'm just curious.

yours isn't as bad as some ive seen. lol at least you dont have a freekin' airplane wing back there. i swear i saw one the other day on this car and if it could of gone fast enough it would of taken off lol. the wing was huge. ive just always liked the smooth look ever since i got into cars.

Well I've seen that type too. That's why I used a small one. I got it from jc whitney and it only sits like 2 or 3 inchs tall and it doesn't hang over the sides. I want to put on a texas tail but I couldn't find one at the time and I just decided to use this one. I've had it for 2 or 3 years now. I found a texas tail recently but it's 120 or 130 for it. It looks alot better and alot smoother to use. Here's what it would look like.

i like that one...it looks alot cleaner.

I do too. I think that is a texas tail but I'm not totally sure. But even if the texas tail is different it will still look better to me.

nice ride. welcome aboard !!
i really like the way you've done you'r plate

ok to answer why i dont like the spoiler... i never liked that type of spoiler, not even on the crappy civics. they look like they are cheaply made, they have NOTHING special about them, and they I think were supposed to be to hold the back of the car down at fast speeds but for some reason I see them on the slowest cars imaginable.

they just look like the company who makes them slapped some metal together with some bolts and called it a day, functional, not stylish.

I like style, smooth lines, classy, and it shows attitude. when i see a wing like that i dont feel that it shows any attitude, i actually can hear like clown music in my head... looks like a picnic table to me.

when i see soemthing like that orange one, i see rap music playing... the car reflects the owner. always remember that.

its cool to wanna stand out, but not in the way that people say "um... look at that??!?" instead of "oh yea.. look at THAT!"

when im done, my car will be playing "Set it Off" by Strafe... thats what i look for. again just my opinion

Hey thanks. It didn't cost much to do the tag. I'll soon be relocating my gas door to behind my tag. I've got a flip kit on it from a 76 cutlass to make it flip down. It will look alot better then when the gas door is hidden.

I only put it on to be different. Not cause it helps ny truck. I like them low and mine is the only low one I've seen. If I had a cowl hood I thought it would give my ride an attitude. I get alot of looks ayt my truck. It seems to piss off alot of ricers. I don't listen to rap all the time but I do like to listen to it. I listen to alot of bass even some old school bass. I even listen to house, trance, dance, anything with a beat. But I do understand what everyone is saying about a wing should only be on a honda. You know what's funny where I live I'm seeing a ton of wings on the bed covers of pickups fullsize and small size. I've seen them on dodges and chevy's. That's really why I put it on mine. I'd seen it on a blazer like mine but it looked like ****. Since it was at factory height and the wing was very tall. It was like ten inches tall. But I wanted the texas tail because it looked really good on the ones I've seen it on. But I don't know if I will use it or not. I used to have a 86 blazer that was dropped so low it would not go over speed bumps. I bought it like that. It end up with a 327 and camaro wheels and the stock wing. It had a fiberglass scoop like for dragging and it was fast. I was thinking about doing something like that. It's just I have to find the right mirrors to do it with. And I need a little more chrome. Like the grill and the front bumper. I think my wheels will look good with that. I want to put a rollpan on and some caddy light but I'm not sure yet. Sorry to make this so long.

Yah didnt even notice the wing, and Im not a fan of wings on suvs but it still looks sweet.
NO CHROME. lol not a fan of chrome either but Im very spacific on what I like.

So you like the wing on it or not? The only reason I would do some chrome is cause of the gmc grill I want to put on and then a smooth bumper I wanted. I have a bumper cover on right now. I could do a paintable grill and thenjust put in a chrome insert. Then leave the bumber cover on. I was thinking about a toyota bumper for it but haven't totally decided on that part.
