My request would be, to take off the running board. And another picture with the running board off and the airdam with the fogs removed also.

(Edit) Hm, it cut my picture... Okay.. forget the airdam thing.. Unless you want to just remove that small piece.. I should take a new picture..

What's your honest opinion on it? Do you think it looks better? Does it give more ground clearance on the sides?..
 






Could you put the airdam back on? Leaving the running board off?
 
























Quick thing
with the running board removed, it will look like...

on the bottom. My photoshop doesn't show it so well
For what it is worth, when my bottom piece was removed in the above picture, it felt about an inch taller. It looked taller. I do not know what it actually does for ground clearance, though.
Mine looked like this with the stuff on...

Just for comparison
 






I like my running board, but taking it off gives it more of a lifted look.. Blah... decisions..

As for taking off the trim, I don't know if I like that... looks different though.
 






The reason I took my black tupperware off, was because I was dealing with some rust on the bottom of the passenger side. I put it back on, because on the passenger side it looked pretty bad underneath.

I will be taking off my front valence, though. I'll try to remember to post up pics of that once I remove it.

I personally think you should just leave the running boards. They look nice, and are functional.
 






Btw, will a good ol car wash get that blue stuff off my new tires?.. They washed them, but didn't do the greatest job.
 






I'm assuming it will. When I got my tires, they had the blue stuff on them, but when they mounted them it was gone. I am assuming they cleaned it off.

I've always wondered what the blue is for, though.
 






They come like that new, as you know. My best guess would be to preserve the paint on the letters?
