Was considering taking badges off what are your recommendations if you did it show some pics

On. It looks bland without them, even if you have a 2 tone

I think De-badged looks better.

what do you like?

it's your truck and do what pleases you! :gr_grin:

I de-badged the GMC Dmax I had, and the Power Wagon I just purchased came badging delete with just the HEMI badge, I seem to prefer it that way, but I am going to add the chrome "POWER WAGON" lettering to the tailgate

I ditched the chrome badging and only replaced the RAM with OEM black emblems. On the tailgate I removed the 4x4 and replaced the Ram head with a black one.

Sometimes its cheaper to get something extra you don't want; my wife and I only have cell phones but we have a landline because its cheaper than just getting cable and internet.:4-dontknow:

I think if Ram offered a debadge option for like $50 they'd make money hand over fist

I actually asked if there was a sales code for badge delete, and was told no. I also inquired about blackout tape delete, as it's listed on the build sheets on black trucks. Apparently not an 'orderable' option... If anybody has info to the contrary, I'd like to know if it's possible.

The blackout tape delete cost me about an hour of my time and whatever a bottle of goo gone runs

I took mine off and just left the HEMI badge on the fenders and added a red 3/8 pinstripe to match the red in the HEMI emblem.

I also removed everything from the tailgate and just left the RAMS head (chrome)and added chrome RAMS head for the hitch plug

My truck is black so the red shows nicely.

I think it all depends on the accent color. i.e if you have chrome bumpers and have chrome badges, then it should stay. But if you have color match bumpers and chrome badges, them either black them out or remove them.

I think because they are more subtle a lot of people find it to give it just the right amount of badging; its the same tape holding them on. I think they look good-I even added a Hemi badge to my rollaway.

Maybe they also don't want people thinking they drive a V6:LOL:

If you use the correct adhesive remover it won't matter how long the badges have been on. 3M adhesive remover is by far the best product for removing adhesive, in my opinion. I have hero have a badge removal take more than 30 minutes, and that includes waxing where they once were.

I took my badges off. I thought FCA went a little crazy with the size and amount of badging in one location. It looked too gaudy to me. I just removed from the side and left the grill and tailgate alone.

I also have a white sport like yours. I can't stand all the badging with the 1500 and RAM and HEMI... I think it looks ridiculous. But so far my laziness and time constraints have won out over my hatred of all that advertising. I did pull off the dealer sticker on the first day from the rear end.

I've considered pulling all of the badging and just adding back the RAM after I paint it black, if I don't like the totally stripped look. Or can I just buy black letters?

You can buy the ram logo black since there is a black out edition, but as for the rest you would have to paint our plasti dip them if you want them black.

I tend to like the chrome badges. But I also prefer chrome wheels to black painted, with the exception to black trucks. Then completely debadge for a smooth look. Just my opinion. :gy:
