The first side came off pretty easy, the whole door peice came off without leaving any adhesive at all!!!
The second side was more of a PITA. Still the adhesive came off just using my fingernail since it was so soft and squishy.
Some times I used a big ball of the adhesive I peeled off, to grab up all the rest of the smaller peices left behind.
The buffing part was a bitch, I bought a Milwaukee variable speed buffer to do it with a deep cleaning pad. No cutting agent wax, just Mothers carnuba two or three times in some spots.

Off-topic: I seem to remember you saying you had your truck tuned somewhere in the Chicago area. Any recommendations for me? Thanks, Jim (hope I didn't step on toes with the sticker placement recommendaton... I just don't like badges)

I'm going to try and get rid of the outer ring of the handles today, then they at least will look more like Esky handles for now.
I have to put the badges on man, its just me. I want people to know that a 4x4 smoked them, its even more funny that way!!
Going to pull the lower valance off and see about painting it black. Don't really care if it still has texture since the bumper cap does too.
The grille on the other hand with the greay plastic looks like *** too!
What the **** was GM thinking when they used all these different colored plastics.
Freakin GOOFS.
