    I bought my truck used, it's an '06 with 50,000 miles.

    First thing I did a couple days after getting it was to take off the mudflaps.

    I want to take off the badging, but am a little worried that it might show if the paint has faded at all. Any advice on this?? Can I just buff it real good?

    Yeah man just use some dental floss or fishing line with a heat gun...once it comes off I would clean the whole truck and just wax like normal...maybe a little more elbow grease in the badge areas, but they are small enough that you shouldn't see any real differences in the paint!!
