Trim Question?

BLACKACIDEVIL · 09-12-2004, 09:19 AM

I just bought a 97 2wd 4 door Blazer LS and I was wondering about removing the trim that runs down the sides of the doors. Is it just attached with 2 sided tape? I don't want to start removing it and find out some of it is held on with clips. Thanks.

you would be fine on the doors, but from what i have heard/ read the furthest back panels on the bumper have 2 or 3 little holes in them you would nee to fill with fiberglass or something of that sort

so i'd hold off, unless you can find those rear panels at a junkyard in the same color
:edit: without the trim on them

I wonder how small the holes would be? What about the front bumper and it's end caps? Thanks.

The holes are smaller then a dime, i dont notice them, the doors and stuff is tape, try and do that on a hot day,makes it easier, but i dont know about the front bumper .

i removed the ones on the doors no problem just the doublesided tape. i looked at the ones on the front and rear bumpers and mine have these square holes that are about an inch long and 1/4 inch high and the plastic clips that hold them on seem like a b!tch to get off without breakin them *just in case*

Thanks for the reply.

I think I'll pull them off and if I don't like it I'll buy new clips.
