Side Molding Removed
 
2 Attachment(s)
Took the molding off my truck the other day and finally got some pics of it. Their are a few small scratches around the outside but nothing that won't buff out. Just used 3m adhesive remover and quite a bit of patience.

Thanks for the good word Kurt :D
Good doing business with ya. I'm runnin 285/50/20 Eagle GT 2s they seem to grip pretty well, much better than stock anyhow :nod: . Might go with Nittos when I replace em though, from what I hear they're much better, little bit more money but you get what you pay for.

how did you do it?
did you use fish line????

The wheels are called Mottos, I might be wrong on this but I think they're a wheel made by American Racing for Mann's Tires, a local shop in Tomball. Again I might be way off base with that maybe somebody can correct me but I think I remember one of the sales guys at Mann's telling me that.
To remove the side molding I let it sit in the sun for awhile and the glue softened up, also used a heat gun to soften it a little more as I pulled it off, didn't use fishing line or dental floss which is what I used on the emblems. Just grabbed it and pulled it off pretty much. The molding itself came off very easily but the glue was kinda a pain. I picked up some 3M Adhesive remover at walmart and that made it come off fairly easy.
