Default My Washed ram and Black Emblems(pics)

So I just Finnaly got my ram washed and wax, and going to proply be the last wax and good cleaning cause I'm in New England and snow/winter is coming lol. Plus thanks to SilverBullet08 for doing the emblems flat black, they look good. Going to put them on tomorrow. What about now a black grill? I think yes. A fully black ram I want. Any more suggestions I should do to this ram of mine. Thanks

Welll before i sent you the emblems out. I did one black and just used some emblem glue i got from autozone and sticked it back on the sitcky black stuff and it did fine. No need to remove the black stuff that was on the emeblms at first.

Just use fishing line to take them off. It only took me 10 mins to take them off. I left the sicky black glue on cause i was going to put them back on. it will take time to take off the glue but it can be done. My ram is an 07 so it was fairly new so was easer to take off. I think the longer you have your truck the harder to do.

heat up the 3m tape on the emblems with a hair dryer, it makes it easier to take them off the truck.

leave the original emblem tape on the door. This way the 3m emblem adhesive is bonding to that instead of your paint.
