[Midnight1]

Plasti-Dip. I did it to all my emblems. My truck is black. Easy to apply. watch some youtube videos to get the idea.

Did mine a few weeks ago...Bought on Amazon from Ram dealer in AZ with Mopar parts. It was a lot of work to remove the old ones, but worth it. Put one chrome before pix. Will do the hood next. If you need, I can outline how I did mine.

Same dealer or nah?

Check out what the mailman just dropped off! They came in 3 days earlier than expected so I gotta leave the seller a 5 star review!

These are the last items I want to find in body color. Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure bro! Looks like you’d have to paint them or wrap them in color matching film.

Josh at avondale. Changed the chrome to ivory 3coat tailgate handle and Josh was able to get the door handles but too expensive for me. The tailgate change took less than 10 minutes.

Chrome to black vinyl to body color (previous post). For your reference to see what you like better.

So I did some debadging today then swapped out the ram and hood emblems!

Heat and 20lb fishing line then the 3m eraser

Where did you get the 3m eraser? The adhesive from the door was more stubborn and left some residue! I used goo gone for the tailgate yesterday but it was a super slow process and frustrating!

Update *Robert Stack voice* I found this shít at ACE Hardware and it’s way better than goo gone! It is also organic and biodegradable so it shouldn’t damage your clearcoat.

There is a website called ReflectiveConcepts.com that sell die cut vinyl adhesive letters out of quality automotive vinyl in several colors that goes on flat face of letters so edge would still be shiny. For $15 and 5 minute install I added red vinyl letters to my Rebel grill letters. See pic below. What do you think? Just got tow hooks painted. New pic added!

Went with matte black on my ivory Laramie. Vinyl wrapped the grille fins and the letters gives a "tone down" look with a chrome border....great compromise. Love the idea of these letters. Your right 5 minute install.

I did the same thing you did. I got the front RAM logo and the door and the 4x4 in the back. Although I actually had to buy the badging for the rear RAM head and the hood badges as well. But I bought the vinyl for the hood badges to match the delmonico red. Looks great. I haven’t installed anything yet on the truck due to lovely Ohio weather at the moment but will try to do everything this next coming week. Here’s a pic of the hood badge.

I decided to de-badge mine of the stuck on chrome "Big Horn", "RAM" and "4X4" bits, and replace the remaining chrome hood bezels, grill letters and tail gate emblem with the black OEM versions... Here are a couple pics:







Next up on the agenda is what to do about the wheels... Thinking about powder coating the stockers a gunmetal gray for the time being while I figure out what to do long term...
