Default Side molding or no side moldings

I want someone else's opinion on this I have been thinking of taking the side moldings off. I don't think they look all that bad so haven't done it yet and I am thinking of door dings.

It does look better with out them but it doesn't hurt to keep them for protection against door dings. Either way nice truck

I think since you have a black truck and the moldings are black you can keep them on and still look very nice. Protecting from door dings is a plus. Either with or without the truck loos clean.

Clean truck. I like these trucks without the side molding. What did you decide on?

Its nice that yours are painted without chrome at least. But while working at a chevy dealer, Ive seen my fair share of those side moldings start to peal and fade not long after having the truck.

I say do it! I plan on taking my moldings off as well. After seeing it covered in salt today I made up my mind .
