I debadged the side molding. What a job it was. The first ones are the before ones. What do you guys think? Sorry about the cell pictures. Some pictures show the wax I was putting on it. Thanks

This is a little project my neighbor and I are working on below. Detroit Michine Mini tubes and custom shackel mounts. Its coming along...

Looks good! BTW what is that upside-down thing? It's hard to tell - almost looks like a Parisienne or a GTO but shrunk somehow....

No offense, but I'm not really a fan of removing the side molding. I think it makes it look like a base model truck, and the molding will protect the door from some dings. Just my opinion though, if you like it, that's all that matters.

Did you remove the Z71 and tailgate badges too?

02silveradols · March 8, 2008

I didn't remove the tailgate emblems or the z71 emblems. I took them off because they had to repaint them and they did such a s**tty job at the dealership, they looked like hell.

Well, IMO, you ought to. You're already half way to a nice clean look! At least the Z71 since the sides of the truck are so clean now.

Yep, I agree. The molding actually looks nice on those trucks. Not too much, not too little.

Yup. All Daddy has to do is to de-chrome his mirrors.

Just kidding!!! Seriously Daddy, that is one sharp looking truck.

Thanks. My truck is an SLE and the factory mirror caps were the flat black plastic ones. I had these tossed on, and the handles before I left the lot with her. I would love to have the painted ones but these look very nice and I can't see replacing them for the sake of it.

I think it looks way better without the moldings. I also took them off on my 2006 and it looked way better like that. I don't think it makes the truck look base without, look at the SS it doesn't have the moldings and it is fully loaded

Actually the chrome mirrors balance it out nicely. I think they look better than painted ones would.

I got chrome moldings on the side of my sierra, and have always debated what it would look like without them. However it's a black truck, and chrome always looks good with black trucks.
