Put on a sealant and wax today. Don't mind the crooked 345 Badge. Put it on crooked after drinks one night and haven't fixed it.

Lat week I removed the D O D G E from the rear (ridiculously easy), this morning after a wash, I removed the Dodge badge from the front grill - also pretty easy, I didn't even have to remove the whole front clip, just the 4 pushpins, slid my arm in behind the grill with some snips, cut the two mounting pins from behind, popped right off.

Looks great, we paid for black badges, now we've got nothing but _black_ badges :D

What did you use to remove the Dodge badge from the rear? Seems really stuck on there with mine. Don’t want to scratch the plastic behind it.

Mine just pulled right off with some needle nose pliers. I mean, they were barely even stuck on - our RT is pretty new so maybe the adhesive hadn't totally hardened, I also did it in the middle of the car with the RT parked outside (in Florida, direct sun), so it was super hot on the exterior, glue was super soft. It didn't take much effort at all, in fact, I could've almost done it my fingers.

Looks great, leave a neat D O D G E impression in the black plastic (I'm not sure if you can finagle fishing line behind them since they're slightly negative offset into the plastic).

Did this the day after I took delivery. Used a hair dryer on high and a bit of goo gone to soften up the glue first myself. Also removed the Durango from the back, so only the R/T remains. Had the question a couple of times from people checking out he car asking what it is. Lol

Yeah, I think the heat really made the difference (I wrote, I also did it in the middle of the car with the RT parked outside in Florida, direct sun ... meant middle of the DAY).

White looks great, super clean.

Right, I had a guy walking around our RT when I came out from the grocery, talked him for a sec, he said it looks great, but he wasn't sure what it was until he say the Durango badge :D
 
installed the red starter button. previously removed the chrome dodge lettering on the rear, blacked out the dodge emblem on the front grill, installed black lug covers. all fairly minor changes, but sometimes the littlest things put a smile on your face. :cool:

Went to fix my windshield wiper hose (hose cracked and broke) in the process of taking my air intake out .. and removing the air intake sensor ... the rubber o-ring around the sensor has become streched out ... I can't get it back into the air intake tube :( Off to Dodge tomorrow for a new sensor ...

What lug covers did you buy? I see a few options on Amazon.

I hear you about the start button, I did the same in my GT convertible, used the OEM GT350 red button, made a surprising impact to the interior :)

Yikes - hope all goes well
