Sticks out? I had to go look at it to see what it was. Not seeing it.

Well shoot!

I guess I'll keep them for a little while longer until more of the pieces start pealing themselves off like the two I've already got doing it now. I already have the smaller stone guards for the back when I finally decide to do it.

However... and this is a big however... David's Ex looks REAL good to me with doors being slick like that.

Thank you all again.

I got my stone guards today, I may try to take care of the switch tomorrow, but we have a big wind/rain storm hitting the Oregon coast this weekend.

This was earlier today, taken by me...

I will play it by ear on when to work on the Ex. However, I will make sure to post a pic or two here and on the "what did you do to your Ex" thread.

Honestly, I am excited to see how it all comes out

I have to be honest - I love the look of David and Russ' Excursions without the cladding. That '04 is a thing of beauty.

Just expect the unexpected when you start pulling the cladding off. Here's what I found when I started pulling mine off.

That's because of all the chrome to offset it.
