Got all my emblems switched over to match the black headlights and tinted fogs. Didn't take a pic but also added factory homelink overhead console! Hopefully next week I'll add the Flowmaster 50HD muffler. Haven't decided whether I'll keep the resonators or not yet. Pics as always!

Not bad at all. Get some blue painters tape, then just outline the old badges before you take them off. Used fishing line, got the old tape off, hit it with a little alcohol and then turtle wax adhesive remover and then a mostly water with a drop of dishwasher soap to prep. Then just line it up and stick the new ones on. They use some thick tape so it's pretty easy to get it off. Went pretty smoothly.

Got the wheels and tires all picked out. Gotta get leveling kit also. That's gonna be a while sadly. 3 month old baby boy and grad school in the fall don't lend well to mod money lol

The black accents really make your paint job stand out!

Nice. You need to black out the taillights.

Looking good! I really want to do it to mine, but am terrified I wouldn't get the black badges on straight.

I've gone back and forth on this one since I don't want to do LEDs. I feel like the tinted tails wouldn't be bright enough but it has crossed my mind.

I am a good example of just prep making the difference. I always seem to get things crooked etc, but I just went slow, took my time and was very specific with my tape outlines and I'm pleased with how it turned out. The two Ram heads even have locating pins so you can't really mess them up.
