Default took the vinyl off apillars and doors

today after we finished putting the springs on, I decided it was a good time to start taking the vinyl off the a pillars and around the door frame around windows, it looks alot better.

before with the black vinyl and no drop





after with vinyl removed and drop on

Lucky I tried to get my wife to help me and she gave up after 5 minutes. And that was on a hott day. Only have my front doors and front pillar done. Looks better without it.

I did one side in 10 min lol it is so easy just make a really light score with a razor blade on the edge where it wrapps around and where it goes into factory rubber and then it will peel right back and seperate at the seams. just go slow and even. Btw it is 70 outside here!
