Default The clean look

Thanks to the inspiration from Altair I decided to go badgeless....used the fishing line method and good old elbow grease....and various adhesive removers....must came off pretty easy, but that Ram emblem underneath the tailgate handle was a BEAR! I do like the look, next are the 4x4 emblems.

Cool nice work... looks good. Are you going to get any kind of custom badge or decal? Or just keep it smooth all the way around?

I like it! Looks good!
I wish there was an option to remove the logo on the grille but still keep the factory style.
