Haven't posted in here before but Ill give it a shot..

Finally got around to taking the chrome molding strips off my truck, also did the ugly black tailgate cover.. whatcha think? I Like

Anyone have any tips for getting the black lines off from where the glue was? I used a 3M remover wheel to get it all off.. but now I have this black dirty lines there.. I am going to try some rubbing compound on it tomorrow morning unless anyone has any better ideas... Thanks

for the record, my next project is to color match the handles, cause i know someone will bring that up..

to get the adhesive off i use adhesive remover.

goo-b-gone.

aircraft adhesive remover.

anything like that.

once you clean the stuff off, give that area a good scrub and wash with some soap and water, because it kind of leaves a greasy residue.

Personally, I prefer the Escalade style handles. The ones where the surround is body color, and the pull is chrome.

But you have one of my favorite years. Not a fan of the 03 and up.

One thing I will say is put the tailgate cover back on until you either do body work or get a hole-less tailgate.

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

do explain how you make the handles the same color when you get to that step.

I want to do the same thing.

Don't know about him since his are chrome, but depending upon how you want to do it, you can sand your current ones down and paint them, or buy new ones and paint those.

Or were you looking for instructions on how to remove the handles?

Well what I was planning was to get escalade handles.. they are a match for these trucks..

Heres a nice write up Click Here

of course now I can't find the place on ebay that had a set for mine..

its cheaper to sand them down.. but if your like me and have no talent for that sort of thing.. its easier to buy..

Edit: the chome on mine are just Putco stick on's.. they look nice tho for the $20-$30 i spent on them
