Question What do you guys think?

I've been studying like crazy lately, so I'm getting anxious to start working on my truck when finals are over. I'm sitting here thinking about taking the molding off the side. I have thoughts either way but I just want to hear what you all have to say. Let me know. All opinions welcome.

BTW - I DO plan on color matching the handles, getting rid of the orange lens, and take the nerf bars off at the end of the week.

Unless u have to worry bout a bunch of 's damaging your door w/. dings, I'd lose em. I'll say this, body color moldings look better than that black texture like on our bumper pads, etc. Esp. on white trucks, certain colors look OK. For most part, I prefer debadged everything on any truck. Unless they're a few sweet badges like SSS.

I'd do matched handles 1st tho.

I think you suck at taking pictures. truck looks good but it needs some color matching. It looks good it just looks like an old mans truck.
