Had to take my badges off too...got me into a crazy debading mood and ended up removing the door badges as well as the dodge, hemi, and laramie badge on the tailgate. Left the rams head on the tailgate though and gonna place updated fender hemi badges on the upper rear portion of the fender.

If it is only a 1/4" or so, can't you just cut a small notch in the flare to go around the part of the emblem that is in the way?

I would just leave them off, people will know you have a cummins when you blow smoke into their face. Funny thing is, most people think the black smoke is a bad thing and that theres something wrong with the truck. Little do they know there is something trick done to the engine.

I could, but not going to. I don't want to risk $400 flares for a notch. I'd rather move the CTD badges or order some custom CTD badges from billetbadges.com later.

Some people will know....I had a moron walk up to me and buddy of mine standing by my truck talking a couple weeks ago. He walks up, stands right by the CTD badge with the truck idling and asks " this a diesel". I just looked at my buddy, smiled and said yep. Then he asks "does it pull good"...I had same reaction and answer. Clearly he didn't have a clue.

I guess I need to learn how to do multiple quotes in one post.
