Thank you for providing the pic. It looks nice!

Regarding the emblems, if you heat them and remove them with the attachment tape intact, use this and you'll make your life a lot easier:

Is Sportwing the only source to buy these types of moldings? I always like to comparison shop. What about Mopar? Suggestions or personal experiences appreciated.

Default Installed Pics

Just installed the sportwing chrome sidings and they look great. They emphasize the arch in the doorway nicely. Only after I installed tim did I find the instructions. Never-the-less, I took someones advice from this post earlier to match them up with the crease in the door and that is perfect advice. I would not use a ruler, but rather feel where the crease is and fit the sides accordingly. I would recommend once you have your desired fit, that you mark the top/ends and sides with masking tape, because if you get it wrong, your not getting these off!

I like the way happyfirst handle the addition of body side moldings to the citadel and tactful return of the nameplate to the doors

Here are the pics of my recent install of the SportWing door edge moldings. I live in the Cleveland area so I was able to pick up from the manufacturer. Sam, the customer service rep I spoke with was awesome. I would recommend this product.




You really can not tell the moldings are on the truck and they look OEM.

I moved the moldings up the door closer to the crease as happyfirst suggested. It worked out well. My only regret, and recommendation to others, is to move the end of the moldings closer to the edge of the doors. However, you need to ensure that there is sufficient clearance for the rear door to open with the molding on. I think the front door molding could be pulled back. You be the judge.

The color match was perfect...
