i have debated on doing that too...i have seen some old hockey stick stripes, super bee style stripes,and cuda style hoods on these trucks and if done right it looks good to me. id justsuggest not going overboard with adding decals and stuff because i think that it looks better if it looks like it came that way. it looks cheap and homemade if it is overdone.

I agree too much looks really cheesy. I just thought doing a little mopar muscle theme would be unique and is probably as close im gonna get to owning a "muscle" vehicle without shelling out big dough for the real thing. Down the road thats in the mix but right now im getting robbed by the public institution we know and love as "college"

i know what you mean about the money thing...im comfortable, but cant go out and spend hundreds on stuff like i wish i could. i have seen cuda style hoods go for over $700, so i look on sites like craigslist for people parting out dakotas for hoods or anything else i could use. ive seen hoods go for around $100 and cuda scoops for maybe $50ish and i can put them on myself with body filler (i hate stick on scoops), do all the prep work, then take it to a body shop for paint. could have a great looking hood for $200 or so that way. decals i have found are pretty pricey but Klingdesigns from this sitedoes great work and has great prices, at least half of what decal sites charge

yeah i saw some other dakota demon pics on the internet but they are all just a bunch of people putting a demon emlbem on their truck or something. I think i might get the demon stripes and maybe a scoop. how would that look on a white truck?

I went with "black devil" for my dakota, with horns coming out of the words. Got it from KlingsDesign. Cost me I think 135 for the tonneau cover stripe and going down the sides. Best 135 ever spent. And they do a great job too.
