i tried to get those while they were doing the paper work for me to sign at the dealer. 
The GMC siding actually looks goo dIMO. That's why it stayed on my Z71. I originally was going to put the GMC molding on this truck but at this point I htink I am just going to leave it like it is. I like it clean and simple.
Erick, I don't think anyone is racing this Sat. I know there is going to be a ton of people racing on the 16th. You should totally come down for that day!

Man, I want to do that so bad...I just have a few concerns. First is dings. The truck's my daily driver, and here in Jersey, the parking spots are made for compacts, and people have no consideration or respect. No matter where I park, it seems like some soccer mom decides to pull right next to my truck to unload the team....and get them all sticky and hopped up on sugar 
The other thing is age. The truck is about 6 years old, and those things have been on there since day 1...whaddaya think it'll look like?

As for the ding problem. You can always use the GMC side molding which looks 10x better and will still protect your doors a little. I don't think the strips are that expensive so over time if you end up with tons of nicks on the molding you can replace that side. Do you have the chrome mirror inserts?

Yep, chrome mirror inserts, chrome bumpers. I have been considering the GMC side moulding as a future wish list item...definitely smoother than the flat black/chrome combo that's on there now. Plus, the "chrome" plating is starting to wear off on the driver's side (damn car washes)

Those are the best mods IMO.
