Removed and blacked out both fender badges. Primed, painted, cleared, cleared again, and cleared one more time. That is some tough adhesive, but nothing some fishing line couldn't handle. Salvaged all the clips. Going back on truck tomorrow.

Edit, nevermind, maybe it is aftermarket.

Are there mounting posts on that badge? Could you post the distance between them?

You're getting too it quick. It took me 2 days to get to that point. Those connectors on the back of the factory manifold were a PITA at least on a 18.

I must have read the instructions & watched the installation video 50 times while waiting for it to arrive. A fully equipped auto shop complete with power tools doesn’t hurt either...(Insert winky face here)

Blacked out fender badges back on truck. Mirror caps and front badge are next, when I can find the time, now that the holidays are over.
