Fender Badges

GatorBaitR6 · Feb 12, 2014

Anyone know where I can get black fender vents that dont cost $300-400. Is it cheaper to just go through the annoying process of stripping the chrome and painting them?

What year vents? 08-10? Or 2011. Just plasti-dip them black, no more than 10$ a can. It's an idea anyway

That's my old black beast with plasti-dip on wheels and badges. Sad to see her go but needed something more family friendly.

how hard is it to take the badges off? i wanna spray mine black except for the king ranch badge and then switch the red mesh to tan to match my two tone.

Shouldn't need to strip all the chrome off if you want to paint them, I just scuffed mine up real good and the body shop at my work sprayed them with bare-metal primer then painted them gloss black when they did my front bumper, turned out great

Excuse the dust haha

why would you break them taking them off?

GatorBaitR6 · Feb 12, 2014

Just something I heard... eaiser to get on then off because of the clips... im sure theres finesse tactics...

I've never had a problem removing them

Its pressure clips that hold them in. Step 1 open hood, step 2 look in the corners where the vents are, step 3 squeeze clips together and push out, its not to hard took like 10 minutes max to take them out.

hmm doesnt sound hard at all. i never looked at it in all honesty, and I cant just walk outside and look at the truck. so looks like this will be the next cheap mod when i get a chance. now i just need to find tan paint for the mesh.
