So you removed the part that says "magnum"? Good idea. For my black truck however I like the updated lettering on the badges I got to replace the originals. But like you, I will place them where you did.

Yes cut the "magnum" off. It cleaned up nicely. Used two sided tape. Cheap and easy and if you don't like it, it'll come off easy enough. Also, I shaved the OEM antenna and now use a amplified hidden antenna behind the radio.

How much did the antenna delete cost you? I got a quote for $700 to delete the antenna and put eyelids on my headlights at the same time.

yea Im sure they have to repaint the whole quarter....on top of that, if you have a metallic finish they SHOULD repaint the door too, because its impossible to match perfectly.

I have been practicing and might spray some stuff at the end of the week...this pearl metallic black or whatever crap I have is expensive
