I could use some opinions on what I've been thinking about. I can't tell if it's just me, but I feel like since I removed all of the door badges off of my truck, the truck looks a little too plain, as if it may have devalued the true quality of the truck. Maybe the chrome badges had looked nice on the side profile of the truck to match the 20" wheels and stainless steel exhaust tips..

Just didn't know if you guys had any neat suggestions of what I could do differently for the badges. I'm not necessarily opposed to putting back what was on before (Ram 1500 and the Hemi badge) but it might be worth my while doing it a little differently while I'm re-buying stuff.

Finally, I think I will leave the tailgate debadged. I don't know if I can think of anything that would look cool to me on the gate, I think the smoked tails with the dual exhaust underneath the bumper looks pretty neat, but again, any ideas would be helpful. Thanks guys!

maybe you could get the big RAM emblems like on the new ones. Or maybe paint the old ones to match the body or something.

Also what part of maine do you live in? I am thinking about moveing there (checking it out this spring) and was wondering what are some good parts?

Yeah, that could be a nice possibility.

I live in the Portland area, probably the most comparable area to Boston here in Maine. As soon as you leave Portland, you start to remember your in Maine. Downeast Maine has to be one of the most beautiful areas, more specifically Bar Harbor. We are developing a piece of property up there at the moment, I have a feeling my dad wants to move up there where he grew up lol.

paint your badges black, but do it flat or satin....that way there will be a contrast....and quit worrying about how your truck looks...its looks good. think of it as clean and sleek not plain.....but putting black badges on there would look pretty cool ......and you could do it in a few hours.....but leave the hemi off....no one needs to know

But won't the black look like there isn't anything there?

Then I get to worrying that if it says just Ram 1500 and no Hemi badge, it will look like a 4.7 (not that there is anything wrong with that!)
