i say remove the door trim. the silver never really cleans back up again. as for the fender guards on there, dont take them off until you are ready to paint. they have holes behind them that you wont be able to hide until you fill them and paint the fenders. also, with all of the mods you have planned, i would get rid of those stick on fender vents you have. makes it look tacky IMO. truck is looking shiny though. i am obviously a fan of black out projects!
the stick on fender vents is actually what I was talking about by "stupid things". they are sitting in the back floorboard right now. went to leave to go to the movies and was like you know what, f*** this i'll acetone it later, and ripped them all off. I hate those ugly a** things. so now i have little foam sticky things on the fenders, lol. I'ma clean it all up tomorrow.. gonna get me some real vents later before I go to get it painted.
yea I would like to take all the emblems completely off but like you said, got holes =/ I searched and it seemed like the door guards don't have holes so I think I'm gonna go ahead and remove those tomorrow and see if I like it or not, can always put them back on or just buy new ones.
by fender guards you mean the little trim right on the lip of the fender right? Yea I've been thinking about removing those, but I could tell their was holes behind them, that's why I just went ahead and painted them black. gonna remove those later too.
when I finally go to get this thing painted it's gonna be a huge change because not only the paintjob will be done but nice little list of "to do right before paintjob" that I have going will be getting done.
