Looks to me like your truck was actually in two pictures.
Black badges look really nice. As stated, black and yellow is another nice theme. And you should pop the back off of your Ram head to make it stand out.

Yeah, payday is coming up here on friday, so hopefully I can find a better way to hold them on there and while I do that I'll remove the black backing on that tailgate badge.
Tomorrow is another day off, and since it's been so NICE out the last couple days (65 allll day), i will probably spend some of it scraping off that SLT haha.

As promised, on my day off I finished up the back haha.
The ever-present sonic cup again lmao. I think the next thing I'm doing is getting a chip

We both thought that this would be a pretty easy project, but it turned out to be kind of a bitch lol...Oh well, we got it done still, and I think it looks really really good with the yellow. Now I just need to sell my rims and get some black ones and i will be set!
I appologize for how dirty my truck is, it had been raining here for like 4 days and like I said, I haven't had much time to do ANYTHING lately...Anyway, here are some pics.
With the badges off and that gross gunky glue...
The other side
Badges all removed
About to lay on the adhesive promoter/primer
I was so busy scraping glue off that I forgot to take a primer pic haha, so black on!
More coats on the badges
Badges back on in black
Leaving the SLT off, but hadn't scraped off all the gunk yet.
Driver side
and that's that.
BIG thanks to Nick (silverbullet), without him this would have taken me even longer than it did haha, and I probably would have cut myself w a razor blade at least 10 more times.

once you remove the badges whats the best way to remove the residue if your not putting them back on with out jacking up ur paint?
Um, I didn't have to mess with more than the SLT leftover, so I just scraped it off with my fingers/fingernails and them used the rough side of a sponge to get the very small residue that I couldn't get with my fingers.
I was afraid to use goof off or something like that on the paint bc I didn't want to ruin it/the clearcoat or whatever. Seen too many threads about that kinda stuff, haha.
As for the guy asking about the rims...I am asking 1200 for all 4. I looked around a bit and found them going for like 300-400. So since the new rims I want to get are cheaper I am just gonna sell them off for around the low end of that so I can get this done. But, I'm kind of in a tricky spot. I've been trying to find someone I know who will buy them so that I can get the money up front, order in the new rims, and then get them put on and give them the ones that are on there now. Otherwise I don't know what I would drive around on? haha. Depending on shipping prices and everything, though...If it wasn't too bad and I decided to sell them to you, it would probably have to wait at least a month when I will have enough money to front the new rims and stuff til I sold the ones I have now. I'm a college student and I pay insurance and a truck payment every month as it is, so it would take some time to get about a grand in the bank to play with like that.
