I've done it once before on my 2001 F-150 so I should be able to get it done quickly. Im thinking about matching it to the charcoal color of the bottom trim.

Wires run, started raining so I didn't finish wiring everything in but the switch panel is in for good. Super happy with it

I guess I finished it in a couple hours, including breaking to talk to mom's neighbor when he came out to wash his car up (which he's about to sell for twice what he paid). it wasn't horrible.....but I did spend more time peeling adhesive than cutting the things off. on the plus side I didn't peel a square inch or so of pain off, like the other side....

Yikes you pulled paint off?????? Did you cut the tape with fishing line or rip them off?

it was my fault. I cut it with a knife actually but first side I got too excited for a second and tugged. off with the paint. that's my lesson to get too excited with jobs like that. truck needs bodywork anyway guess I got extra. looks like that's a job for tomorrow, if the forecast is right
