That's not so bad, but I think it might be even better without the artwork plastic or whatever it is behind the back glass. And if a Blazer Removabe Top fit it, then I'd be all in on that deal. I've seen a couple others that looked good if you can get past the long distance behind the rear wheels. That' the only thing that looks weird to me.

They probably put those plastic pieces there to match what is on the avalanches. It als probably hides a few flaws along that seam :evillol:

Prolly so. It don't look bad at all. I'd rather have the back open though and a Blazer Removeable top fit it. :waytogo:

Yeah that would be cool. Instead of a K5 you could call it a Burb5 :D

I was thinking a Chinaman could finally get something right, and call it a K5 Brazer !!!

That looks like an awful lot of work just to make it so you can't carry a sheet of plywood.

Yeah, I'd want a lay down tailgate too. It's really not a bad idea. As I said, a K5 Brazer would be cool. Like that White one. But, without the back enclosed, so it's just like a Blazer.
