I want to remove the pinstripes off the side of my Denali, I know its easy, but being the truck has been in FL, do you think if I take them off, there will be any discoloration on the paint job? Thanks!!

The truck is a 2021 ? My personal opinion is I don’t think the truck has seen enough time in the sun to cause UV fading/ discoloration with a modern triple stage paint job, and even if there was, it would probably be so faint it would not be noticeable.

But, you’re concerned, the best bet is to remove a tiny slice at one of the ends to see if there is a difference. Might be hard to tell but that’s a good thing.

No, you're not going to see any difference -- especially after a good polishing and a few days in the sun.

Hey, I see you swapped out the chrome trim pieces around the foglight. Can you tell me how you got the stock ones off? Did you swap them when you had the whole front off the truck? I'm looking to swap mine out without removing the front end/grille and without breaking the tabs of the stock pieces.

Any advice towards doing this (maybe from under the truck) would be a big help.
