Default Removed bling and added Badges.

I at least was able to remove the chrome rings from the handles.
Looks better, but the plastic would not take a shine using any product except WD-40!!
I tried all the stuff I had and the shine would last about 5 minutes before fading.
What do you think about the Z71 emblems?? Either way I like em.
The pic in my sig is yesterday before the chrome ring removal and Z71 badges being added.

I saw a new Silverado at a dealer in Missouri that had the stock textured handle buckets and Escalade chrome pulls, not a stick on.

Looks good. Now you need to remove the pinstriping.

I've been contemplating that.
Took off my lower valance and primed it with Krylon fusion. Have to go get more, satin or gloss??
I'm thinking satin, if it doesn't look passable as the bumper cap color I may get them all paint matched at the same time, including door handles.

Nice improvemtents!!! Little things like that go a long way to making your truck look nice and clean. I have been using Mothers Back To Black on all black plastic trim and it seems to be working well on stuff like the handles and mirrors.

Drop it some more. Give it 2 more inches in the back and 1" in the front.
