Upset!!!

So i finally got my truck back. Had it shipped to me. Anyways i wanted to take off that ugly molding that goes around the bottom of my ride, you know that plastic that comes on Z71's.

I decided to start with a small piece in the rear. I pull it off and this is what i find.

I would like to take all that stuff off but i dont have the funds to have all that body work done. Anybody ever do this? Anyone know how much something like this would cost?

Holy. Crap. Damn that is mad I didn't know that wads like that under there its a good thing I didn't take mine off.

You should put it back on and color match the molding. That's I am going to do.

This came up before, I personally hadn't seen it but yes it's rivets according to most that I've read anyhow.

Here's what one guy did on another board, otherwise you need to have a body shop do the work if you can't:

Yeah i put it back on. Color matched is nat a bad idea. The only thing i see that might cause a problem is that s**t is textured.

That sucks

You'd have to use a high build primer until the surface is level and then color match it or it will look like crap.

it wont look to bad the stuff fusion is pretty good. I did my front valance and i am going to do the rest of the gray bottom..

I think I'm going to just suck it up and deal wit it. I don't think it looks to bad but I think it would look better with out it. It's really clean/ no scratchs soo. Maybe I can get the nerf bars painted black.

yeah they wanted those pieces to stay on there for sure. and dont do the krylon fusion paint job. that crap looks like spray paint because it is. wait till u can properly smooth and color match them so it doesnt look like a high school kid did it.

Color match it, I have seen it done on a few avalanches and they have the same textured front bumpers and rear mouldings
