Changed out chrome emblems for black outs. I think if I remove the RAM from the side and add black wheels it will look more my style

Are you going to swap out the chrome in the front for black?

I am debating it. The problem is, if I decide to swap, the blackout trucks have different headlights also, so I would have to get those

I'm still not sure if I like it or not. I figured the location was to also work as vents. From what I see they aren't. Now on my truck that's on order the black would basically disappear because it'll be black.

For me since I’ll be doing a silver accented with black, it works out perfect.

I struggled with the first one. Then I figured it out on the second one. Grab the bottom corner under the one in 1500. Pull across the emblem and it pops out. Doesnt take much force, so if it is not moving readjust you grip and move it around. He second one literally flew off the truck. You have to pull up, as the top tabs wedge under the sheet metal, and you cannot pull the top out first.

The black emblems definitely look better. They are the least offensive of the 2 alternatives. It would be involve expensive bodywork to totally eliminate the badges. At least when 1500 and Hemi was on the door and fender of the DS, if you wanted to remove them, there was no body mods needed. I was looking at a blackout Big Horn last month. The hood badges seem to be of no better quality than something you would buy at a discount auto parts store.
The same design team that gave us the ugly unibrow must have also thought these hood badges look good too!

Now I’m really looking forward to getting mine. Although I’m more so chomping at the bit to have 5” black chrome muffler tips again lol.

Thanks! From what I've read the Limited has the BI LED headlights that rotate when turning, my Big Horn/Lonestar has the regular LED headlights and don't rotate.

Wonder if it will throw codes if I swap them. I love the front end on that black truck!

Have a part number or a picture from further back showing the whole side of your truck?

I also have a Delmonico Red.
