I took my badges off because I like the way the truck looks without em. I know what kind of truck I have, and if it looks good to somebody else, why does it matter what it is?

Ive always believed in less is more.

Some people like it - I sorta like the look, but I like the badges on my truck, and I like showing that it is a Ram. My problem with debadging is that I've actually seen a few vehicles I liked on the road, and could not tell what they were because the person took all the badges off. It's not a big deal with something as recognizable as the Ram, but with others, I might have looked into the vehicle if I knew what it was.

I prefer to keep the badges. Proudly displaying that "5.7 Liter HEMI" badge. I also added a Seattle Seahawks badge that is awesome. Go Hawks!!! Oh, if you decide to debadge, you will get better gas mileage because the truck now has less weight and less drag.

Some like it; some don't.

Remember when people liked whitewalls?

badges are alright but sometimes its not good to have too many of them everywhere
i like having just my RAM badges on the side instead of the RAM 1500 because then it looks too cluttered
