So did you take everything possible off the truck? What about the 6.2L badges and tailgate emblems? Any data points and tricks that you guys have are much appreciated. Thanks and can't wait to see the results!!!:waytogo:

Absolutely demand that all badges are removed and re-applied. A lazy installer will try to convince you that he can cut around the badges and make it look good..... This schpiel is total snake-oil bullshat. You're wrap will look like crap around the badges and the original paint will shine through the hollow parts of the badges.... Again, I know from experience. I found it unsatisfactory and the installer re-did it at his cost.

Agree 100%. You HAVE to take the badges off. There's no good way to get around it and it's a simple, maybe two minute deal. the hardest part of taking the badges off is measuring so you can put them back in the exact same spot.

We took off everything that we could within reason. That includes the badges, the tailgate and rear bumper, the rear taillights, the corner marker lights (front and rear), the third brake light, the side fender vents, the hood vents, the headlights and the antenna. The only things we didn't remove were the door handles, the Sirius antenna and the fender flares.
