Took me about an hour. Just make sure you heat gun the crap out of it makes your life much better.

I did mine as well. The warmer it is out the easier the vinyl on the window pillar comes off. Less glue left behind too. One big lesson i learned from the first side i did was DO NOT use your fingernails to scrape at the glue left behind. I was left with small scratches that i had to sand down, then compound and polish. The second side i did not do this so i was not left with little scratches. I used goo gone and some isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the adhesive.

I definitely prefer the cleaner look. My debadging/pillar removal went pretty smooth. I had a very faint shadow left on the passenger door where the Ram 1500 had been. Definitely better to do it when the paint is newer.

I used my finger nail no scratches for me. I did use some cutting polish when I was done though. I let my truck sit in the sun and used a heat gun worked good.

I prefer the clean look also I am very happy doing it. I can see that happening on a dark color. The silver color you cant see anything thank God.
