Lets see it Landon....

 

I will get some pics soon and put them on!

 

I've had this for a while. I haven't put it on yet. I have been debating if it will fade or not. Did the tape stick? Does it fade over time?

 

I think it looks great. In fact I think it looks better on your truck than it would on mine. I think it compliments the rims perfectly. The black with chrome lip rims are matched with the black and chrome lipped running boards. Keep it, Nice job!

 

doo600 thanks, LTZ_HOE as far as fading its to early to say, and the 3M tape is holding good, I also put a thin bead of Gorilla glue for added strength, this stuff is strong, and used duct tape to hold in place & apply pressure, then I let itsitover night to dry...

 

Items that I used to install Chrome strip molding

 

Mine seem to be holding just fine also. If they fade I will rip them off and install again. It is cheap enough.

As for install all I did was clean the surface VERY VERY good with 91% alcohol. Then heated the board area up with a heat gun (it was a cold winter day on the install, even in my heated garage it was probably only 50-60). I then installed the tape, with the naked eye and a steady hand. Slowly kept going a long the board. Once I got to the end, I just snipped it off with wire cutters.

After I had it installed, I used a heat gun again to heat the trim and tape up. While heating it I applied heavy "finger" pressure to the chrome trim. So far, mine is holding perfectly. I even tugged a bit at one end the other day and it didnt budge. As for using glue, that is up to you guys, me personally I wouldnt want to do this in case I want it removed!

Thanks again six7one!

 

Finnaly got some pictures. However, it is raining outside so they were taken in my garage. I need to redo the drivers side. It seems I was a little drunk at the time. You cant tell it isnt 100% level unless you are looking closely and at eye level with the trim. It looks ok, but I didnt do a very good job on the install and it pisses me off!

 

Looks good Landon. Your truck is looking clean. I dont have a garage and it rains alot here in lower Alabama. All I have is a car port and the cobra beats the tahoe on who sleeps there. You may have been asked this before but, does your wife use the pole??

 

HAHA, no my wife doesnt use the pole! However, my girlfriend has used it before!
