    I removed all badges and decals. I didn't like the red of the bedside decal against the Cav blue.

    Worst part was removing the adhesive on the bed decals. Goof Off finally took care of it

    My son drives an OR. First thing we did when we got it home was remove the bed stickers as well as the V6 from the tailgate. I’d say remove.

    Closest I had, my wife's old blow dryer, haha!

    The rest of the badges were fine, for whatever reason the adhesive on the decal was a different beast

    Don't mind the bed decals, but the Red on smurf (periwinkle) doesn't look good.

    I have the same color. Personally, I didn't like the red against the blue. If it was all black I would have kept the decals.

    My last truck was white and I liked the decals on it, but it doesnt work with the Cav blue for me

    I went this route, purchased from Etsy. Ive had it for a few months now and like it compared to the busy decal that was an OEM option. Might keep it for awhile, might change it.

    It depends on the level sun exposure.
    I removed my pin stripes after ~2.5 years and there was an obvious dark line left behind.
    I’ve seen some guys have the same problem with the bedside decals. Maybe some other people can give you a better idea.
