Default To debadge or not?

I have decided to go for a different look with my truck. Got rid of the camper top. Sorry camper top guys...ordered a HEMI bedliner. And ordered the zeons yesterday. Can't wait to get them on next week. For the price I couldn't go wrong. Ordered the eraser wheel to debadge but am second guessing it now since the letters are chrome and they compliment the wheels nicely. Debadge or not? Door spears too?

Figure out what you want your truck to look like and what you want it to do on a daily bases and then start making changes. It is all fun... Good luck.

Silver are you looking for a set of paintable ones?

And I say debadge Ram 1500 first. and see how that looks, I think leaving the hemi badge will look good. Maybe debadging the tailgate and leaving the big dodge head.

It all depends on what you are going for. I've left most of my badges on, because they are chrome and I have chrome accents. I'd kinda like to remove the 1500s and leave the RAM or even get the newer RAM badge, but after 6 years in the south Georgia and Florida sun, I'm kinda leary about ghosting.
If you like the chrome accents to go with your wheels, leave them on. But I personally like the clean look of a debadged white truck.
We just did CwboyJohnny's a couple weeks ago, and I liked the way it came out...

Hammer, I was thinking of debadging all but the CTD badge on Friday, already bought the eraser wheel from mytoolstore.com. Do you think I should be worried about ghosting? I do not want to risk paint blemishes on my truck.

I took off my RAM 1500 off of the doors. I used rust-oleum decal & adhesive remover and they fell off in less than 5 minutes. It didn't hurt my paint at all and you cant see any evidence that they were ever there.
