Default Emblems

The emblems on the fenders,are they stuck on with adhesive tape,or bolted on? I like the clean look with them off,but don't want to weld and repaint.

they are stuck on with holes in the fenders for locating pins, so if you take them off, there will be 2 holes

hold on... u guys make everything look so hard....yes u can weld it, but if u just want a quick and cheap fix, simply cover the holes on the inside of the fender wit a strip of metal or somethin...if u wanted u could stop there...if not then take a lil spot putty, fill in the holes, and u can simply buy a lil thing of touch up, or if u know how to paint wit out running it or creating tape lines,paint that lil area and blend it

haha.

Most people don't understand paint. IMO if a truck needs repainting say the bed, you need to paint the entire truck again to make it look right.
