Default Before and After pics of molding removal.

For those thinking about removing the side modling and badges here is a before and after. Plus Chris can now leave me alone about removing the stuff. :p

I just realized how shaded the new pics are and there are too many people coming and going on my street so I'll take better ones tonight.

Before


After

Nah, I didn't know about it. I went ghetto style and used some bug & tar remover and a teflon "stick" we use for car stereo stuff. The damn thing scratched up the paint more than i thought it would but it all buffed out pretty easy.

When I lower the truck in the next week or so I'll clean up the inside of the wheel wells also. Sad part is I'm gonna have it all shined up and pretty and then it's just going into the shop to get all ripped apart for the new motor, trans etc. It's gonna get all dirty again.
