Can I pull these off?

[bigdaddyII]

I am working a deal on the truck pictured below. I have walked out on them twice already and they called and said that they can do the deal that I want, we will see tommorrow. If they can, the first thing I would like to do to the truck is pull off those awful chrome accents on the tailgate/door handles and gas tank. The ones on the fenders dont bother me, they just look stupid on the handles. Any suggestions on getting them off?

Are they full replacement pieces or just stuck on with tape or whatever?

Obviously if they are replacements then just buy the stock ones and replace them.

If they are stuck on I have had good luck with bug/tar remover for getting sticky stuff off. followed by a good waxing

Make it part of the deal..... They replace them or you walk.

Walked on a couple other things already, this is something I am willing to deal with on my own, they are just stuck on, after all. If everything works out tomorrow, with the friends I have made at that dealership, I will be peeling them off by myself LOL. What I have been walking out for is dealing with price, I would also walk for major cosmetic stuff, but if the truck was way messed up, I wouldnt even have looked at it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Ended up taking truck home today and the wife actually likes the chrome pieces. Oh well, it is her truck so i am just going to have to deal with them.

I certainly wouldn't put them on that truck, but I'm not sure I'd work too hard to take 'em off, either.

So you've got two black trucks, now? Dang... I'm about 1200 miles north of you, and black would be a hard sell because it gets too warm in the summer. No way I'd want one if I lived down in LA...

Nice truck!

No, I traded the 97 on this one. My wifes old Sentra is my work whip now.

My little brother traded in his Chebby on an 08 STX yesterday. Here are a couple pics, poor quality taken from phone right after test drive:

sssooooooo how come he hasn't joined the forum yet?

I have been trying to get him to, but he is one of these WOW addicts. He said he would check it out but he is working right now and you know, that takes time away from his game, he has to protect his palace when he gets home so that he dosent get butt raped or something. Geez, I never understood how a game could be that important, seems that every time he logs on to the internet he cant help himself.
