De-molded the Yukon

[5.3SLT]

Decided to remove the body side moldings from our 2008 Yukon since they were faded and butt ugly. Also took the Flex Fuel and Yukon off the lift gate to clean up. Gotta love goo-b-gone and the 3M eraser wheel!!!

Looks nice and smooth!! Welcome to the forum, BTW!!

Looks Great!

 

[LuSe4]

Very nice!

Looks great -- but you forgot to take the lettering off the sides, which now looks like it's floating in space with no reference to anything else. Ditch that, too, and it'll be perfect.

X3 on this. KMeloney took the words out of my mouth.

You all need to stop taking the side moldings off your NNBS trucks. It's becoming too tempting to do mine. My hang up is it's my wife's truck and there's no telling where she parks when she goes shopping and I'd hate to lose the protection.

Also welcome to the forum.

Any other plans for that beast? It's begging for a set of the OEM six spoke 20s.

Nice work....demoulding FTW

 

[Gzes]

It's begging for some aggression get some all refrained on it and a small lift or level

Thanks all. The lone "Yukon" looks better in person so it'll stay. Yeah, I'm dying to put 20s on it which will come with time when the budget allows. I will probably throw the wheels from my truck on there eventually.

Next up is tint and perhaps a 1" spacer up front. The Yukon is the family mobile so I'm not going to go too crazy right off the bat.

Nice truck.

Obviously you have a thing for "floating" emblems.

 

[quattrotman]

Yukons/tahoes look so much better without the side mouldings. I'd take the yukon emblem off too...all or nothing!

I think you can get away with a compact emblem where the "YUKON" is, but the lettering is too long and narrow to look good alone, I think. But, hey, if you like it, that's all that matters.

I have a clockable billet spacer kit if you're interested. I had it on my truck for @ 2 months before lowering the front end.

Maybe black out the Yukon and the SLT. Try plasti dip if your interested. Won't cost much and you can peal it off if you don't like it. Just a thought

looks really good!

Thanks for the input everyone.

I've thought of that and will probably will as I'll be plastidiping the wheels soon.

Looks good! I hate how my white yukon has yellow tinted plastic molding now due to age. I think im going to take them off after seeing yours.

Can't go wrong! G'luck.

 

[StormTrooper2181]

I hate the molding....looks 100x better.

I actually like the newer model moldings. To me it has somewhat of a luxury look especially on the LTZ , SLT and Denali black and white diamond colors. It goes with the rest of the chrome.

I can appreciate no moldings or badges though as it gives it that smooth look. My avalanche does not have any molding or badges however it does have the cladding. Come to think of it I don't think it ever did have emblems or badges......
