Installation & Care
Remove old adhesive and clean and dry the mounting surface. Test-position each emblem before attaching it. Follow your chosen adhesive manufacturer's preparation, pressure, and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.
Wash with mild automotive soap and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive products and aggressive rubbing across laser-marked artwork. An aluminum-safe protectant or wax may help maintain the natural machined finish.

OBS Billet - "Mission Statement"
OBS Billet attempts to keep the look and feel of OEM parts, so when we design parts, we try to keep as close to the original as possible to keep you in the 'Spirit of the Era'
We also aim to create a consistent product line of 'Themes & Styles' to keep a consistent look to your aftermarket parts, rather than a disjointed collection of billet parts, that in some cases , may not suit the era or look of the truck.
We hope we achieved this.
