Thanks guy's for all the positive thoughts on this phase of the build up.The entire driver's side has been molded to fit and awaiting final prep before painting.But need some input from you folks.

How does the front fender cladding fit on your's?Fitment on my truck shows about a 1/4 of an inch space before it gets to the actual edge of the fender at the door (the vertical edge).Then the door cladding has to be pushed back to allow the door to open without rubbing,and this causes a very large gap overall.Like an inch wide between both side moldings.

Does yours do that,send me a pic of yours if you can.

 

Then what should i do for the rear,two thoughts there,easy way BSER roll pan.Or graph the O.E. Silverado SS rear bumper to the back giving it a "blocked" look.

 

Your input is greatly appreciated and will help contribute to something really "neat" I hope.

thanks for the post it shows what i am talking about,for a moment i actually thought the doors could be different.they could have made the fender cladding a little wider.It would look a lot better if the molding went to the edge of the fender then the gaps would not be so wide.

When i lengthened the back door and 1/4 moldings i compensated for the gaps and they are a lot tighter than the front door to fender gaps.
