Default Finally Debadged the Reaper!!

Seven years after taking delivery of the truck, and about two or so years of talking about it, I finally debadged the thing! I have nice fat blister on my left thumb from rolling the old two sided tape off. I still have to get someone to go over it with a buffing wheel (I've yet to learn to use one, and I don't think that my own black truck is the right vehicle to learn on), but after that I think it'll look pretty sweet. In real life, you can definitely see the outline of the old mouldings, but between the wheel and a clay bar, I think it'll be acceptable. I also removed the tow hooks a few weeks ago and snapped off some shots today after the debadging...guess it's time for a new sig pic again

That looks really good. IMO, debadging is the best (and free) appearance mod you can do to GM trucks. Tint your side windows now!
