Thanks all!

Actually I wasn’t wanting the trim…however after seeing it without, I think it almost needs trim..otherwise it looks like a big blob?
IMO trim has to be on when it's single color. With two colors and some pin stripe lines it looks ok without. I prefer trim, it just looks cool and adds detail.

I would be plenty happy with just a pinstripe kit. The only trim I'll keep is the 70's two tone trim.

That trim is by far and away the best package GM ever put on a square body! Now I’m thinking no trim..?!

With that being said, if I don’t put trim on it does anyone have any good ideas to cover those holes…aside from going back to the body shop!?

Only way I know is some kind of rubber/plastic plug, but that wouldn't look great. Might have to run trim or get some kind of emblem you'd want to put there.

Could do a small led clearance light? That's what I was going to do. Otherwise back to the body shop, but that's a small feature for a lot more work and money. I don't have to worry about paint quite yet though lol
