Finally Got the Trim On
 
3 Attachment(s)
Got a complete lower body molding "kit" from GMCPauls.
Nice quality, packaged very well, arrived in perfect condition. :metal:
Getting each one to line up with the others was another deal... :banghead: came out ok though.
Glad I went with it, was undecided at first but I think I made the right choice. :D

Looks very sharp. What was the total $. I've got a lot of dings in the trim on my '72 and I'd like to replace it all someday.

HEY VT, DID U SAY THOSE WERE 33" W/ A 4" LIFT :confused:

vtblazer 06-26-2004 04:26 PM

Yep,
33x12.5's on 10" alloys w/4" back spacing. 4" all spring lift.
Even with this mild lift/tire combo, the "gotta hop in" factor is still there. :p
Here's an old post with more pics of it.

Wow- trim looks great! Really brings out that color! Did you use the clips, or the 3M tape?

night and day difference. I too would like to hear method used to attach and words of wisdom and warnings!!

Black accent goes with roll bar and big tires too.

Trim/Molding
 
Thanks for the great comments... :)
Bouncy, the reciept is under something... :confused: but was less than $400

Diane, I used a combination of bolt on clips, push in style and just a couple of the plastic clips w/tape. The thing with the tape ones is the thickness of the tape, meaning they don't hold the molding as tight to the body as the other clips do.
When I painted the blazer I opened up all the factory trim holes again, so primarily that was why I used the bolt on clips...basically because I could. ;)

cheyenne10, mounting methods as per above. Wisdom/warnings...go slow, be patient. Door trim has a front and back, pay attention to that. If you can, get a helper. My 9yr old daughter was working with me :cool:
As long as the body panels are lined up (here's where the doors need to be correct) everything should be ok. I had to "fudge" one hole on the pass. side fender to get it to agree with the door trim. Other than that the install went better than I had anticipated.
GMCPauls had answered a post I put up asking about trim quality and provided good info about their's. I would recommend the molding parts they sell, each one was perfect coming out of the wrapper. I did order the metal clips seperatley and was very happy with those also.
