what would be the best way i didnt want to remove them? Also thinking of tinting the headlights or gettting covers i have HID's as you can see in my sig pic. Also pinstripe coming off as well.

the way i did it was heat the emblems up with a heat gun and then i used some fishing line to carefully saw off each individual letter then comes the fun part theres glue that you will have to scrape off i used some goo off let that soak and take the end of a prescription bottle and carefully scrape it off (this whole scraping glue off thing can be skipped if you had an eraser wheel i recommend buying one if your going to take off the pinstripes) you might have some ghosting since its a black truck but a nice buff and wax should take care of that

as for headlights check out this link

look for a knock off of these on ebay even with hids the tinted lens will kill the light output

Not a bad look at all.

Moved this to General Discussion as this thread is not technical in nature.

Instead of re adhesive on the emblems, I just bought a brand new set off ebay for like 20 bucks for a new tail gate ram emblem, and 2 ram 1500s. Just an idea if your worried about getting them back on.

Looking good!!!! I've always liked the look of dual antennas, but now you need black ones. Maybe they could be plasti-dipped????
