Icon10 When a simple wash goes bad....

Well maybe is wasn't bad just finish the decal/trim removal mod I started over a year ago lol. I started washing it and the rubber trim piece was falling off so I just went for it and while I was at it I removed the remaining pin strip, bug deflector and then finished it off with a fresh coat of wax. Still looking for flares with the mud flaps built in, might just paint them black and trim them for the time being, but who knows...

For the time being, give them a little trim. I was gonna do that just to hold me over and I turned out happy enough to never actually change them... Just take your time... the smoother the cut, the better they look

Ya, I was going to do that, but I finally found a set without the built in mud flaps for a decent price

They should be here by the end of next week, but Im going to paint the black along with the valance
