I think with that color debadged would look better, nice truck.

Looks good 10' away up close my OCD kicks in...

Nice truck, except for that plate.

It definitely wasn't that easy removing the one GMC badge from my tailgate. GM must use some serious tape these days..

I was bummed to read this, just noticed tonight that my tailgate GMC logo was applied crooked (truck is 4 days old). Bugs me, want to remove.

3M Adhesive remover.. It is easy just takes about 10-15 minutes.

Thank you - seems like this is the way to go.

On the doors there are two badges: "all terrain" and then stacked directly above is the "kodiak edition" badge - too much. Will buy some 3M Adhesive remover tomorrow.

I removed all of my tailgate badging not soon after I bought the truck but I got lazy and have not got to the sides yet. Plan on removing the silverado on the doors but on the fence about the Z71 sticker.

I like mine naked too!

I washed, clayed, and waxed my black truck over the last few evenings and now I am on the fence about removing the "silverado" on the doors. I like the clean look but I also like the silver on the black background.

I de-badged and de-chromed the side of my truck. Hated the High Country badges and the 4x4 bedside decal. I also replaced the chrome side molding with 2.5" painted moldings. I left the tailgate badging intact except for the dealer logo and bowtie. I planned to replace the bowtie with the black one from the the GM accessory set, but decided that I liked it better without..

I had a hard time removing the adhesive residue. I with I had known about the 3m adhesive remover wheel when I did it.

I tried Dupont Prepsol solvent which turned everything into a gooey mess. I ended up doing the finger rub to work off the

residue, of course this led to several blisters.

Where did you get painted moldings? Thanks.

Mine are made by Dawn Enterprises (www.dawn-ent.com) I got them from a random seller on Ebay. I think I saved about $10-$20 off of MSRP and got free shipping. You provide them with the paint code and it takes about 2 weeks to receive them. My impression is that they are painted to order.

I really like them. I put them on my wife's 2010 Terrain which came without body side moldings. The color match to the Terrain Mocha Steel and my Deep Ocean Blue were both excellent.

You just made my day. I have chrome side moldings but have wanted color badly. That's the only place I want molding in order to prevent door dings.

Another tip and you have to be careful is to use a plastic razor blade to remove the adhesive. It works well on goey, solvent-softened adhesive. I do recommend swirl mark remover afterwards for any micromarring.

Take a look at the website. I just looked and there are a whole bunch of molding options. Color, chrome w color stripe, color w chrome stripe, color w different color stripe, engraved Silverado lettering.

Also noticed the website color selection does not include Deep Ocean Blue Metallic, but I supplied the Ebay seller with the paint code and they delivered the correct color.
