Review: Easy application. - Well made. Great adhesion if used as directed.
Review: Good replacement for the original. - I have a ‘91 k1500 single cab step side, I bought the 180” roll. It was not enough to wrap the whole truck. I was able to cut enough all but one door. I had to purchase the 90” roll to complete the truck. I recommend unrolling it and placing it flat in the sun on concrete for a few hours to flatten prior to placement. I used painters tape to cut a pattern prior to cutting the pieces, this prevented me from wasting material.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you buy the 1500 Chevy emblem for the front doors of the molding?**
A: Unfortunately we do not sell any emblems. Thanks

**Q: does this molding have the thin black edge along the top of chrome strip like oem molding, or is the top edge chrome all the way around?**
A: Just like the OEM molding , the ribs also will accept your series designation -- you will need to remove the tabs before instillation and apply with super trim adhesive. Black is best.

**Q: will I be able to attach 150 emblem to this molding so that it will look like factory?**
A: Not likely, that particular molding is lower on the body than where the factory f-150 logo would be placed. The design of the molding as well would pose an issue if you did want to attempt to place an emblem on it to hold for a long period of time.

**Q: does this molding have the texture like the OEM does or is the black part smooth?**
A: The texture is very similar to the OEM moldings on my ‘95 Silverado. It’s a light pebble finish. After 2 years mine are still looking good.

This item came as described. It seemed like it would be very sturdy and would work well although I did not use it after seeing the damage that the original molding caused to the paint after removing it from my truck.
