2025 Forged Blue Metallic RHO complete with almost all the options!
As a fellow member advised I removed the 4x4 as they thought it was over kill and I agree. I still have some residual glue but a friend at the local body shop told me to bring it buy and he will professionally remove the glue. Bought some goo gone but it for whatever reason would not get that final layer off.

personally, I'd remove the red from "RAM" and add red outline to 4x4. The solid red 4x4 was too much, but now looks unbalanced with both of the others outlined in red. Just my $.02
 
Just an opinion but I like the RHO being the only red outlined emblem.
 
After you use the eraser wheel put a good coat of wax or ceramic coating on of you had that. The goo gone will strip it down to the clear coat.

I’ve removed many emblems on many new vehicles and what always worked for me to get that last residue off was literally rubbing it with my finger until it started to roll up and off. Goo gone and other stuff just smeared it.
 
It’s easier than that don’t overcomplicate it. Just take a roll of packing tape or duct tape and stick it to the glue area and gently pull it off. The glue will stick to the tape more than the paint unless it is old and dried on. Only if it is old and dried on do you need to use that eraser wheel. The wheel can burn the paint if not used carefully. And above all else for the love of God, don’t use a paint scraper like the complete moron did at the dealership where I ordered my first truck.
 
3M Adhesive Remover works great too. And…if you spray it on your chamois then rinse it out and wring out most of the water then dry your vehicle after washing, it won’t leave streaks and will anon water better

As a last resort, wire brush, grinder and chisel. Guaranteed to come off.
 
If you use the 3M wheel, keep rpm’s low to avoid heat. If you use a liquid, be sure it will not affect the clear coat. I’ve seen sooooo many use harsh chemical to remove residue and you will see its ghost from bad clear coat in that area.
 
I've had good luck with 3M adhesive remover also, it's gotten expensive lately though , but works.
stay away from all black plastic parts, it leaves unremovable stains

Blow torch or C4 explosives will do the job JUST PERFECT!

No.

I used either WD40 or 70% rubbing alcohol & some friction with my thumb. Follow with some “cleaner wax”.

Stay away from the eraser wheel…it really requires a good machine polish to fix the subsequent damage. Even if you don’t see it, it’s there.

NEVER use GooGone on your vehicle! Bad idea.
 
Unbalanced.

Symmetry is required.

Symmetry is beautiful.

Symmetry is order.

Don't be asymmetric.

Don't be chaotic.

Be balanced. Be happy. Be beautiful.
I agree…to a point.

On my truck, the 4x4 emblem had to go. If someone doesn’t know it’s a 4x4…I don’t care.

It’s like putting a penis emblem on the driver’s door of a male owned/driven vehicle.

See my point?
