The tint is factory rear and legal front....

Well a little fishing line and the badges came right off. The stick-em underneath stayed on the body. After I painted them, I just stuck them back on with a little super glue around the rim. The reason I took them off was because, as noted, the passenger looked a little off even though I put them right back on the existing stickems.

Anyway, in taking them back off to straighten them I knicked it a little. So I decided to repaint that one letter. Well, the paint freaked out and started bubbling up and peeling?? WTF!

So I said "Forget it!" or something more colorful and took it off.

Does anyone have ideas on how to take that SXT sticker off??? It seems to be on there pretty damn good. I don't want to attempt to take it off and then make it worse....

I liked it with the black emblems. It went well with the color of your truck.

I think the no badge look is very clean looking now that I have done it. I am pleased overall.
