Help! I can't decide.

[SC88]

So I am going to finish painting my suburban... the hood and front fenders were painted last winter now its time to do the rest of the truck.

I am having a hard time deciding if I should keep the door moldings or take them off. I'm torn between keeping them and removing them I don't want the side of the truck to look plain without them. I would love to photoshop it all color matched but my skills are lacking and I don't think it will do it any justice.

So should it stay or go??




The badging will be coming off and If I do remove them I have the color matched / chrome LTZ door handles from GM and the painted mirror caps from the DL-3 mirrors i just picked up. If anyone has this color with the molding off please post up would love to see it!

I think color match will look nice or remove them. That's just me though. Nice wheels BTW.

Color match the mirrors too if you decide to do that and the appliques if you haven't don't those already.

Take em off - But im biased

Paint the front top bumper pad and get some Esky rear appliques.

Take 'em off, do the chrome handles w/ painted surrounds, add the painted mirror caps and add the little GM square on the 07+ trucks to break up the door. jmho

Take them off. It wont look plain because the NBS has that prominent crease running down the doors. I did this on my '02 and it looked nice.

Color match them and call it done. Easier to replace them than hammer out a dent.

I say take the door mouldings off. It looks much cleaner without them.

Here's my attempt at a few things, removed molding, painted caps, painted door buckets with chrome handles, painted ends of running boards and painted plastic on front bumper



and here is a Burb I found on cardomain with the molding color matched

Looks a LOT better. Esky roof rack would look great on that burb.
