So here are the pics after I finished my first round of de-badging. Trying to decide if I want to keep the Hemi logos on the front, and the ram symbol on the tailgate. What do guys think?

Recent adds will include nerf bars, and I would like to incorporate more red somewhere, any ideas? Calipers maybe?

Keep the hemi and ditch the tailgate one. You could also paint the difference cover red. Looks good so far!

Painting the diff sounds good, would I just want to wait until maintenance time and un-bolt and paint the cover? Eventually I'm planning to level out and maybe try a size bigger of street tires, would I want to wait until it's a little higher or will it still be noticeable? Up in norcal n/o SF

I think if you paint it it will be very noticable, and ya just when you have time to let it dry unbolt it, paint it, with automoitve paint so it won't chip/peel ect let it dry then bolt it back on. I'm thinking about doing mine white and the bolts black along with white brake calipers what do you think?

Ya that would look hella sick under the black rims. I'm thinking black rims would be the way to go eventually too, and the accented caliper color will look nice

I am going to be taking my tailgate off soon. So I can run my hitch cover that looks just like the tailgate badge. Looked silly IMHO to have the two at the same time.

This is my current look minus the huge hunting decal
