Default Debadged and buffed out.

Finally got it done!
Buffed the whole thing out with Mothers Carnuba, and did the ICE thing to get off all the wax dust.
She's not perfect but with 67k on it, looks pretty good.
Took off my side moldings a few weeks ago, can't even tell they were there.
I have these Z714x4 emblems to put on but don't know if I should do the section just behind the door toward the bottom of the window, where the LS sticker used to be, or down where the 1500 stickers used to be.
The emblems are about 2-3/4" long and 1-1/8" high.
Lets hear some opinions.

Nice looking truck. You really have to appreciate a black RCSB that is clean. As for the emblem location, I would put them on the doors where the ''1500'' belongs.

whats up with those handles man... if thats your thing then its cool I suppose but they kind of break up the lines too much on a black truck... you definitely pulled off the sleeper look though... either way its a great looking truck

-and I second putting the emblems on the doors..

Looks good man


As for the placement I would put it in one of 2 places. --- Behind the door is my 1st choice like on the Z71 tahoes

Thanks for the comlpliments.
I want to take off the outer rings on the handles since the center peice is epoxied on!! I regret that for sure.
Maybe eventually get color matched or real billet.

Looks good Tim!!! Another vote for the behind the door location. If you want, I have my stock handles, since you won't be able to take off the covers.

Thanks for the offer.
I may need them, possibly sand them dowm and have them color matched.
Would look a lot cleaner.
So how much for em?

Here's an old pic for comparison.
