Rolled up soft topper is the best way to cruise a Blazer.

Got some Expel paint protection film that has a texture to it. Added this this “sill plate” of both rockers. I would cringe everytime my boy would get in and out and step on the paint

Just a picture after a quick detail. This has a been an awesome family cruiser

Tinted the front windows. AC works better with less sun rays
