Default New Mirrors and Possible Emblems

Just got two packages in the mail today, pretty excited. Just installed the new mirrors on, and began to look deeply into my new emblems that I am not sure yet of whether I want them on my truck. I know for sure I am going to put the RAM part on the sides of my truck to replace the old style ram 1500...but I am still contemplating the idea of the ram head on the rear. Going to do a test plasti dip on the old ram emblems to see if I like the way they turn out.

Mirrors look great, until they broke with 2 days of use on them. The drivers side mirrors wont click into place when I try to fold them out or in. Boo, good thing customer support is being handy and shipped a new one to me asap.

Came out pretty good I think. Anyone have an idea on how to paint my front grill inserts? Is it possible to take them out to paint. I took a look today, but it seems there are some screws holding them in, plus some oddball plastic screw like clips.

emblem looks great, i just did my inserts the other day. take your grill off completely and lay it something face down where it wont get scratched. you get those clips (22 of them) out by taking a 1/16 center punch and lightly tap out the center little circle in the middle be sure to tap them out completely and dont lose them as you will need them when you put them back on. then remove the pin itself should pop right out. then paint or plastidip whatever you prefer then re instal. pop the pins in then lightly tap the little retaining pins back in to lock them in place. install the grill back on the hood then sit back and enjoy the view

Just wanted to share a picture of the back end with new emblem. I did find something very very interesting about removing emblems. Well on my previous ram I heated up the emblem then pulled it off, and used my thumb to remove the black goo(Took A LONG TIME), but I was working on tailgate and realized what if I use some sort of tool. I had a empty prescription bottle laying around, and used the end of it to push black goo off. Did not scratch the paint, and used goof off to remove rest of goop + a quick buff job to remove lines. Let me know what you guys think about the emblem on back. Thanks!
