I had mine removed at the dealer when I went in for services before my 35K mile warranty expired. Mine were coming unattached i guess due to Texas heat and a black truck! Kinda adds a custom look, i just hated that damn chrome strip going down them!

If they were fully colormatched without chrome i'd prolly leave em on.

i vote take em off i wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like with just the GM badge on the door before they got pulled off.

just so clean when there is nothing trapping dirt on the side of your door.

Yeah, me too. I was thinking about taking them off anyway until I got the truck and could see that they don't stand out too much on the silver paint.

All badges save for GMC front and back are gone though. Debage looks way better imo

I done mine and love it. I left the vmax and gm emblems tho so it's not compleyely bare. It looks so much cleaner with them gone, I can't believe I didn't do it sooner

My Camaro had them removed and it looked great, I just don't want donged-up doors. If there was a support right there against the sheetmetal (underneath), I'd be all over it. I want to remove my FlexFuel and LT badges from the rear and my 4x4 stickers from the quarters, but first I would like to find a 4x4 badge that matches the font of the other badges on the truck to place on the bottom right of the tailgate. I also want a clean 376 badge on the outsides of the hood cowls. We'll see if any of this materializes, but short version: I want my moldings gone too, but I drive my truck offroad through a ton of mess as well as park here with a ton of foreigners and old people, and I certainly don't want door dings.

Oh yeah, I can't clean my black truck worth a damn; what's the best way to remove the residue after you heat the badges and stickers off of the vehicle without doing a full-on detail?

Brand power should be simple and potent. The massive GMC in my front grill POPS! The tailgate is more subtle as its off to the side but both still very classy. I really dig the style of these 900's even if you dont debadge the badges are still well designed too Its just personal preference I guess
