There should be plenty of examples of no side molding out there.

XLT/Lariat = Side Molding

XL/Work Series = No Side Molding

 

I personally like the side moldings on my SCAB XLT. As Raoul said, the XL's don't come with it which is what my first F150 was. I do like the distinct lower lines on Patman's SCREW with out the moldings, though. My SCAB doesn't have those.

 

I removed mine by using a heat gun(they came off fairly easy), used goo-be-gone, and then buffed/polished it....turned out great!

 

Believe me brother, I sacrifice plenty... First of all if were out anywhere to begin with its somewhere that my wife or my daughter wants or needs to go... Mall or Target....Not Academy or Pepboys or places like that.....

I do the considerate little things, flowers for my daughter (Ballet recital) Cleaning house,washing dishes,going to my wife's conference's with her...Most of her friends at her work THEIR husbands DON'T even go with their wive's to ALL those conference's.........

I do and sacrifice plenty.....I OBVIOUSLY KNOW HOW TO KEEP PEACE................Its my truck, its not covered by full coverage it has 209000mi and its paid for..I would like to keep it in as good of shape as I can and one way is parking out in the boondocks....I let them off at the door some but sometimes we can all walk together as a family... It is not going to hurt them..... I'm going on 20yrs of marriage so I've been keeping the PEACE for ALONG TIME MY FRIEND....

 

You know, it may not have taken you six days to respond if you hadn't parked so far out.

 

Six days, is that all!! I sure don't bury myself in the computer as yourself

You a funny man!! Maybe I can be like you and have 5000 posts in 10 yrs!!!

 

Gator Crew, my truck is the same as yours. I think it would look great. People still manage to ding my truck even with them on...

Looking for a cowl hood too.. what brand is yours?

 

It is a Reflexxions Steel Cowl hood. I bought it through Keystone Autoparts, it cost me right at $400, that included shipping

 

Thanks! I saw one on a truck last week, first time i saw one in person, and i am sold.

Gator fan here too.. originally from Tampa, living among the enemy here in Knoxville, plus my g/f is a Bulldog grad.. just can't win, except for on the field!

 

Good deal, I know you will be happy with it!


GO GATORS!!!!!! Look forward to seeing Kiffin in Sept @ the SWAMP...He will be welcomed with open arms, beer bottles, guns, and a few other things

 

i got a xlt with no side molding, it came like that from the factory...

 

I've been a bit scared to do mine, I was afraid there were clips or something holding em down. Hate the molding, its gotta go

 

The OP wanted to see what his truck would look like without them.
From that I assumed he must have a styleside, that's why I mentioned the trim lines for stylesides.

I hadn't considered flaresides like yours. Thanks for mentioning it for future readers.

 

so i started removing my moldings a couple days ago and i started with the drivers side rear door. it came off easily and i cleaned it up pretty good with simple green, but now this is what i am left with.

advice?



im not too worried, its only noticable from a couple of feet.

 

Try some rubbing compound.. might rub out the line left from grime build-up.
