If you decide to go this route, have a look at my picture folder: http://sourpuss.net/projects/vehicles/trailblazer/front_bumper/
Mike provided a lot of info on the internal reinforcements, and I just winged the rest of it. I would suggest taping over your fenders while working on the fit, I scratched the hell out of my paint. And if you raise the clearance from the stock bumper, then plan for a mounting point to add a radiator skid. I only have about $400 in raw materials used to build mine, but it took a LOT of time to cut and weld everything together. I'm happy with how it turned out, but I don't know if I would want to do it again.

Where did you get the fender and grill models? The grille looks a bit too wide though, based on the fender locations.
