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.

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.

what are you asking for the rims?
would you ship to Florida?
would you ship to Florida?
So I finally got a day off, after two 7 day weeks and a 6 day week, to do some work on my truck, and I decided that I would use it to take my badges off and paint them black. So I called up Nick and he headed over and the work began.
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.

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.
