Thanks guys,

Next I am thinking of taking off the rear bumper insert/bed rails and painting them black...hate oxidation.

Also thinking of a new hood in the next year or so...have to wait and see and convince the girlfriend

probably holding off on anything for the truck for awhile...looking at picking up a new gun for concealed and getting a trailer for my fishing boat as well as new motor.

and then theres always trying to buy a house

They came out great, this is now on my to do list.

But as easy as they are to get off, I do believe I will be removing the calipers first.

i was going to do the same to my grill the other night had it pulled off and everything when i blacked out my ovals and just had this gut feeling in me that said not too touch the honeycomb grill but looks like i will be doing this tomorrow haha. How did you that the grill from the surround. I know i see clips and all but how hard was it and did you break any of those clips?

Clips came off really easy..just start at one end and work your way around. I used a hairdryer to heat them up and a flathead screwdriver and putty knife. They came off in about 5 minutes taking my time and didn't brake any of them
