Side Moldings removed

Decided to remove the side moldings and rear badges on the Magnum today. Took about 2 hours including a wash and quick wax of the areas.

More pics in the gallery with a quick write up to follow.

It is also much quicker to dry it after a wash and you don't have the drips to contend with.

Hey......that car looks just like mine! [Ha!] I also removed the side mouldings and most of the badging. Hard to believe I waited as long as I did. It looks soooo much better. The only badges left are the R/T on the rear hatch and the HEMI on both sides. All thats left to do on the exterior is black Chip Foose Nitrous 22s, detailed calipers [red] and a vertical billet grill. Question: What's the general feeling on chrome pillars? I'm still going back and forth on this one. Thanks for your imput.

O.K. gang .... you've convinced me. The polished stainless pillar covers are ordered and on their way. It's funny. A little comes off ... a little goes back on. [Ha!] I went with the set from AutoTruckToys.com. They have rolled edges that cover the entire pillar [as opposed to the flat type that leave some of the black showing] I also ordered a stainless tailgate handle for a little more "bling" in the rear of my Mag. [I will shoot a photo when they go on] The new question is: Do I lower an inch and go with 20s or ...... not lower and go with 22s? I have been told that putting 22s on a lowered Mag [1 inch] will need a bit of modification. Thanks for your imput.
