Re: [Video] Is it just me or...
Hi gents
Well it seems its hat eating time , the headlights look strange because they are not xm ones, when importing to america many alterations had to be made to allow the vehicle to conform with federal law, the lamps being one of the changes, what they did was bin the genuine units and fit headlights from a 90's Pontiac Grand Prix!!!!! imo they fit very well.
So there you have it, if your ever walking the streets and someone says "hey, have you seen one of those american grey import xm's, they look a little funny front on!" you can now bore them to death with this little bit of info

Here is my Tailblazer!
It has been sitting in my loft for the past 5 years so if anyone wants to really have it to complete that 1990 XM look then make me an offer!!
All the best

Re: [Video] Is it just me or...
The platinum grey car pictured in that accessory leaflet does look very smart - OK, I'm biased as it's effectively theSteveLP wrote:
same car to look at as my first ever Xm!! Probably an enhanced picture mind as the visual clutter of all the pillars
has been knocked back visually.
<<edit>> Actually, is it two tone with a different grey lower colour below the belt line!!
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of OEM genuine accessories, but wouldn't any tailblazer get a number plate stuck
on top of it negating any point in having the remaining 1" wide red bit surrounding it unless the number plate is
moved elsewhere?

They have small numberplates.
I suspect that you attach the trailblazer on with double sided tape?
