Default Decal Designing...Please Help Me!!

Bear with me though. I like to ramble when I get my ideas right on paper. So I've been kind of laying out a few things and I would like you guys to help me. Everyone seems to have those straight up and down decals, so I'm trying something different (kinda).

Yes, I'm a horrible artist. But here's the general layout. The "DODGE" part is going to be white lettering with black background so hopefully where it says "DAKOTA" will really pop.

That design is based on the first one seen here.

Design would spread across the contour of the truck as seen here:

Instead of that ram head, I wanted an angry one. Seen here:
dodge3.jpg

Or I could go with the viper symbol just because it's badas$ and mean looking:

I was looking up the retro MOPAR decals and this one came up. It gave me the idea to put specs or some kind of saying along that contour:

Please help. If I need to do further explaining I'll try my best.

I just need to work on the contour of the bottom line a little more on this one. It's my favorite so far.
