Arrow Need your opinion!

So yesterday i decided to take off my emblems and paint them black but the more i look at my truck debadged, the more i like it. What do you all think? leave it debadged or put them back on?

I honestly don't think you can go wrong either way. The black would look custom and the ddebadge looks "clean"...

If you put them back on you might want to paint the ram head too and if you can get that off in one piece is another question. I know when I debadged mine it cam off in four pieces. I would lean more to putting them back on though because it would be different then want everyone else is doing

Leave them off.

With them painted black, they will look like someone stole them and you have left the black two sided tape on the truck.

They would need to accented in some way to look right.

Better option would be to get some vinyl emblems made that have details cut out of them.

I personally love the debadged look, but if you wanted to put the black ones back on, I would remove the ram logo, and just put on the dakota and 4x4 emblems.
