I'm thinking of removing the door moldings from my 03 Chev, but I can't make up my mind. Anyone have any pics of a Charcoal Grey Chev with the door moldings removed? Prefer to see an EXT cab/ shortbox, but I'm not too picky.

Since they have been on your truck you may have some scratches. You may have to have the area buffed. I have em yanked on my black reg cab after a year and had some scratching in the clear but Dirty water was also stuck behind there so I am glad I took em off.

Stripped mine about 7 months after buying it, scratched like crazy but a little rubbing compound and it cleaned righ up. Mine is black though. I agree, it looks great, you'll love it!!

rattlewagon, that does look good.

if the danged moldings went all the way down the truck like they used to, they would look fine.

Check the picture link in my sig.

Look under the "Smokin" Section.

There's a side shot with no mouldings, or door or tailgate badges


(Note to self... Time to update pictures)

Or......you could replace them with much better looking GMC units.
