Have a Limited and seems theres badges everywhere.

Anyone removed the applied strips of plastic molding down the length of the doors?

I found this example, combo of black emblems and debadging. I know there are more out there maybe under the “member trucks” section.

I intend to debadge the tailgate and that’s about it. I don’t mind the side RAM branding, and I think it looks good without the chrome molding strip or the chrome window surround. Tis but a lowly BigHorn... but I like it.

Opinion: I de-badged my Gen 4 when new. I liked the way it looked, and it made washing the truck that much easier.
Photos: I've only seen de-badged Gen 5's via photoshop.
Hopefully forum members can help populate this thread with pictures!

Are the RAM letters on the tailgate just stick on? I thought there was template holes in the tailgate for these??‍♂️

Every ram I have owned the first thing I do is take off all "extra"emblems. 5th gen....ram on doors, laramie on tailgate....looks cleaner and easier to clean.

I swapped to all black badging. Removed the Laramie tailgate badge.


Removed the door emblems but didn’t like it so I put black emblems on

What do you all think about removing these chrome trim strips. They seem like an afterthought to me. Like an unnecessary effort to give Limited's a little something extra.

O debaged mine, has the blackout package. The emblem sizes and logos are getting out of hand. Blackout PKG on black truck at least minimzizes the giant logos

I hated the chrome on my Laramie with the Sport Appearance package. I have it all off except for the doors (their coming off too).. the front and back I installed OEM black emblems.

I always think additional badging is an afterthought post design. Have you seen the Ford with platnium on the front hood. Looks like a pep boys special

I don't mind some bading but to much takes away from the clean lines. I agree the Ford is limited looks bad and the big applique on the back of the tailgate is even worse.

I say do what you like, I'm just not a fan of plastic chrome, yes I know it's all plastic these days. I debadge all my cars, sometimes I leave a logo. I would take.the ram off.the back if.it was not recessed. The front plate would be gone too if I was.not. moving.to tx at the end.of.the month. I'm sure a lot of people hate the blackout edition and.thats ok.

I wish they had made all the badges like the bighorn badge with the black in the center of the words.

Nice looking truck, what step bar you put on? Looks sharp!

I've always debadged my trucks, but I can't decide on these stickers (mainly because I've never had any that need removed). Taking suggestions on them. Is a heat gun and 3m adhesive remover the best way? 20181022_192801.jpg
