On my 2002 GMC can anyone give me advice to see if i should take the chrome strip of the sides of my truck and how would you do it because i was told to heat it with a blowdryer. Thanks for any advice

 

hmmm... well i actually like the gmc's chrome pieces... they look better on darker colored vehicles.. but its really whatever floats your boat... i took my molding off of my silverado bc it was a fake chrome piece w/ black plastic and it looked tacky...

but i kinda like that.

and... yes you can use a blow dryer and some dental floss and use it like a saw to get inbetween the body of the truck and the tape on the back of the molding

 

I think the chrome piece on the GMC's look good, but anywho? I took mine off with a degreaser and some rubbing alchol to take that sticky stuff of the paint. On the chevy's the side molding are lot thicker and harder to take off ,it took me forever to leave it lookin clean. I tried the Blowdryer that didnt work at all for me!!!! It should be easier on the GMC's b/c they aren't as big.

 

If you can get them off in good condition I will buy them from you. I took off my Silverado moulings because they don't look good, and I have been wanting to replace them with that year Sierra moldings. They would look good on my black truck.
PM me if your intrested. Or E-Mail me in my link below.
Thanks, Steve

 

I personally think the trim looks nice on there, but it'll also look clean with no molding. Really a personal judgement call

 

Chevy moulding sucks, GMC moulding Rocks! Keep It On .

 

i say keep it. yours looks better than what i got on my chevy. but here is a pic so you can see what the diff would kinda look like.

 

I have it on my 03 silverado..but my truck color is dark metallic green.. I like the chrome peice on there.....

 

Thanks for everyones opinion so i guess hands down is to keep it on.

 

I also replaced the basic black molding with the chrome on my Sierra:
