I just bought a '99 Eddie Bauer Expedition and I have a question. Has anyone removed the arizona beige trim? I love the features and the interior, but I am not overly fond of "two-tone" vehicles. What do you guys think? Will people buy the EB trim parts? Thanks in advance.

An even better idea is to have the trim painted to match the truck. Looks sharp!

Thanks NoMo, that has crossed my mind. Anybody else have an opinion?

 

I'm not sure, but I think the fender flares are attached to the sides of the truck with plastic "clips". If you take them off, it may leave visible holes.?!?

Maybe someone with an EB will comment.

 

Nomo is right. Fender flares are attached with a couple of screws and the plastic anchors. I tried this today. If removed, there will be hoels around the wheel well. I am not sure about the door trim. I do think it would look sharp if the trim were painted the same color as the body.

Here is a pic of my 98 4wd Eddie Bauer Expedition. The bumpers and the fender flares were painted. The tan pin striping along the side Expy was just taken off. I personally think the monochromatic paint job looks much better. Just my opinion.
