I did break the passenger one- luckily was covered by warranty, but still, you really need to know what you doing, when I brake my first I did learn how that thing works and I came up with " special tool" :)) L shape and I just pushed out from the back, it's actually pretty easy....


Do you have a picture of that tool?

The color matching part is done. Next is the brushed black wrap on the center part of the grille, mirrors and window trim. All emblems are getting replaced with black ones too.

What are you doing about the mirrors?
The center section of the grille, mirrors and window trim are getting wrapped in brushed black. All of the emblems are getting replaced with black ones too.

It's all done. Dechroming is complete. Mirrors ended up wrapped in gloss black due to the complex curves but I still love it.

Nice looking trucks guys. I just got my 2020 limited 4x4 6'4 box in ivory white 2 days ago. I am also going to do the chrome delete. Im thinking of going a different route. Does anyone have the part numbers for the black grill that comes in the limited black appearance pack? I was just going to order the black trim off that package and install them on mine.

I have been unable to find "LIMITED" matte black emblems. I found a couple non OEM on ebay and amazon but not sure about the quality. I did find the OEM 4x4 emblem. Does anyone have a lead on a good black LIMITED emblem? I guess my other option is to debadge the tailgate.

Same boat here. I bought the 4x4 emblem but it's sitting on my workbench for now. I know there's a black LIMITED emblem out there since I've seen it on black edition trucks but I can't find the part number. For now I've debadged and to be honest, it'll probably stay that way since I already debadged the sides anyway.

^That's a pile of chrome! So far I've replaced the grill RAM with flat black, debadged the chrome RAM on the sides as well as the two small trim pieces on the back of the cab and rear quarter panel, put flat black inlay decals inside the chrome LIMITED trim, installed flat black exhaust tips., and put flat black overlays over the 1500 on the hood bezels. I like the long side moldings/pieces because I think they could possibly help with door dings. I did look for black to replace those but didn't find anything satisfactory. Anyway, I still have chrome inserts in the door handles, around the windows, and my side mirrors. Honestly though, with the billet silver and my wheels, the little bit of remaining chrome doesn't look terrible on the billet silver. Doesn't quiet stick out as much as on the darker trucks in my opinion. If I take the deep dive and replace all the chrome then I'll "have" to get new wheels. :)

Been thinking about adding this inside. One with red set screws would bring your color combo inside the truck.

**Never mind. I just saw that you were right above me in the same thread. :rolleyes:
Another member posted this for me in the "What did you do to your Ram today" section. OEM Black Limited emblem. $19 plus shipping and tax.

The last piece of the puzzle arrived today. Once the rain stops, I’ll install the black badging on the tailgate.
