I would go ahead and put some of that chrome stripping down the side. If not, some uh, person at wal-mart will just open their door into the side of it and, uh, make you very angry.

That thing is tight!  Great job!  I like it without the side trim, it suits the truck nicely.

thanks for all the compliments...it is rewarding to get them!

fyi... no side trim - that stuff fades - and wouldn't look good on her the way I got it now...

The truck WILL NOT GO TO WALMART EVER!!!!!...that solves that...
I have learned...you can park out in the back forty at Wal mart - nobody around for a hundred yards - go in for 5 minutes - come out - and some goobers will have surrounded you with their beat up minivans, old beat up tauruses and maybe a lawn mowing truck and trailer...they'll all be so tight around you that you have to go in thru the window... therefore...I will prevent from applying side moulding and the incident from ever happening by just taking my wife's car to Wally...she won't notice the dings anyway...

lol. Yeah that used to happen to me a lot when i had my mustang all fixed up. I eventually came to the conclusion that people want to look at the car, so they just go ahead and park next to it so they can get out and admire it for a minute. When they should have just drove all the way around it once, and went and parked somewhere else. Very annoying. You can kinda help it a little by taking up all 4 parking spots. Just park on the intersection of all 4 lines. But if i had my truck all done, with no door ding strip, yeah i probly wouldn't try it either. But really, wal-mart is just the main one. Anywhere you go it can happen, and i just don't like dents all in my new bodywork.
