Debadging for a Cleaner Profile
Side door badges contribute to a lot of 'visual clutter.' Many owners choose to remove them or replace them with smaller, more subtle custom-engraved pieces from Engraving Nation.
Dealing with Ghosting
Older trucks (5+ years) may experience 'ghosting' where the paint under the emblem hasn't faded like the rest of the door. To fix this, you'll need a light polish and a DA polisher to blend the surfaces once the adhesive is gone.
Installing Custom Side Badges
If you're replacing the stock text with a custom 2500HD or High Country engraved plate, use a level and a laser line to ensure the badges are identical on both the driver and passenger sides.
