Side Molding Cladding Removal Possible?

Here is a pic of my truck, I'm currently in the process of a 2007 conversion (i ordered the parts to convert the front end and the rear bumper)

My questions is, Can i remove my side plastic moldings to have the smooth white look? OR do i need to purchase 2007+ moldings to paint and re-fit? Thanks so much for the awnser, I will try to grab a pic of the conversion process.. Im new here

You can remove them but you will have mounting holes to patch and paint.

Will you do a detailed write-up on the 2007 conversion? That is a much needed topic IMHO. I searched for that just after I got my 2004 and was only able to find one guy and his write-up was...well...lacking...a lot.
