Stick with just the black. I actually think it looks tight all slicked out like that. Along time ago there was some thread pictures going around of a nasty looking dodge head, kind of a cross between a skull and a dragons head. Get klings to make that and put it on your hood or tailgate, that would look sweet. People in their rear view mirror would see you coming or see it laughing at em when you cruise by on the tailgate! Maybe someone one still has a pick of it. I think it was Altair or Frenchy playing with photoshop???

I'm also thinking of de-badging the tailgate. With my tonneau cover and both light covers on the way I think it would look pretty tight.

Wouldn't mind something like that (above comment) on my rear window.

True, hadn't thought about that. That in yellow right in the middle of the rear window would look good. I tried to debadge my tailgate and couldn't get it off. Long time ago Frenchy told me to heat it up and use spider wire. I sat there for about 15 minutes with a hair dryer and it didn't move. I was worried about scratching the paint at that point so I quit. If you do, tell me how you got yours off!

Well it was sitting in our nice 100 degree heat and still with the hairdryer it wouldn't go. I'll see if the shop guy will let me borrow his heat gun. It must just need to be up to a couple of hundred degrees to work.
