Well i know that a lot of people are on the border of whether or not to debadge their truck. Since im in the process of doing mine, i decided i would take pictures of one side completed and one side still left factory. This way you can decide whether or not its for you. Hope i can help somebody make a decision. So far i REALLY like my truck debadged.

Looks good!
Glad to see you left the important one on, it should be against the law to take that one off. :hehe:

thanks, I like a lot. What is purpose of those weather strips anyway?

 

[bbt82z]

those "weather strips" are a bumper guard for other people's doors in a parking lot.

Certain color trucks look good debadged.

After debadge and a few other mods:

i actually picked up some new style red/black badges to put on mine to replace the chrome ones. I wish i had the door guards. i probably wouldve left those on my personal truck just cuz i think it makes a slightly more finished look but thats for me to do and you to do as you like. i still like your truck sir

 

[Silver70]

how hard was it to take off the door gaurds? and what did you use?

The door guards were actually easier than the badges. All i used was a heat gun and some fishing line to get it started and then just yanked em' off. I then used 3m's adhesive remover and a plastic scraper to get the glue off.

The chrome rocker trim was the worse thing I ever had to take off my truck. My hands hurt for weeks after that.

 

[oscar_ac50]

you guys had much shadowing from the badges? original owner of my truck and chrome fender trim and it definatly changed the red shade

yeah, thats the only problem. im gonna try and lightly buff it to see if i can even it out... but then i realized that i have rust all over my truck and i would just look stupid trying to buff out a little light spot when theres rust and patch panels everywhere :rof. I even took off the "eyebrows" on my truck and they changed the paint, and they didnt even rest on the paint, just from casting a shadow.

ya my 03 hemi 2500 was a farm work truck from day 1 and we need to replace the rear quarters due to rust. ya and with our red it shadows like crazy so i dunno if i want to start pulling badges quite yet already having the fender trim issue
