Default Body Cladding removal

I think my ho would look good debadged and with the door cladding removed. i know the badges are all held on with adhesive, but what about the cladding on the doors, are there holes drilled in the body? i was thinking of debadging, removing the claddin and getting painted flares. probably going to do the black background halo headlights too. any opinions on this as well.

The side moldings are also held on by adhesive... just like the emblems.

i have seen a few trucks rolling around and they look good. i am want to remove mine also but i am not shure how to remove the adhesive off of the truck. but if you know how to remove that go for it get that clean slick look.

Heres some pics of my 01 with the molding and emblems removed.
before:


after:




as far as removing the glue i used a heat gun, a plastic razorblade, and the 3M eraser wheel. after the wheel i used goo gone followed by a wax and grease remover and went over the areas with wax

here is a pic of my truck, body cladding removed

I removed them due to a defect from the factory and the paint fading. It gives any truck a smooth, clean look. Don't forget to grab some adhesive remover, they're a pain to get off.
