Will I need to fabricate special dents for the RAM emblems on my shaved tailgate ?

I used to have the Ram logo on my tailgate but I paid a Bodyshop to weld the holes from the dent and fill it/paint it.

I’m wondering if there’s anything I need to do before adding the R A M letters to my tailgate.

What did it cost you to fill it in? Looks good! Just wondering the cost because I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing

Taking the lodestar emblem off as well? Weird they put that back on unless you told them to.

Cut the alignment pins off of the R A M letters.
You might want to consider having the letters painted to match the tailgate.

Our tailgates look much better without those big letters.

OP I’d leave your tailgate as-is. Looks so much better.

Did the letters have guide holes?

Yes they did, pretty big ones to. Well, actually, the tailgate had the holes, the letters had a locator “pin” sticking out of them that went into the holes.

It looks better without them and I bet it makes washing and waxing much easier.
