I am looking at this site http://www.24designs.net/index.php?m...=index&cPath=1 and they seem pretty cheap. They are just 15 bucks and 5 buck shipping. They all fit even though they arent for a dakota, they are same dimensions.

Nice to meet another Washingtonian too!
Im guessing the emblems cant be much different, so this site must be good also for 15 bucks. I believe it all really depends on the adhesive that's holding it on.

Yeah i was gonna buy a challenger one. But they are all the same. Is it 3m tape that holds it on? I was wanting to go for a totally different one, maybe their batman one, or a mopar symbol. I want it to look custom, and one of a kind for when people see it. Haha

i like that mopar one as well, but I got a lot of mopar symbols already (license plate, bed stripes) that would be overkill.

Oh you got the bed strip that is like the strips on the rams that goes up and down the entire side after rear wheel? I wanted one of those, but i have my 4x4 sticker, and i dont want to take it off because i like the sticker, and the paint might be a different shade or it will be shinyier behind the sticker.
And the only symbols i have, is the rear ram logo, the dakota logo, and the ram head on the grill. I only want to change the ram head on the front. Maybe i can change the back too if i find one big enough. Perhaps like 5inch by 6inch.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Rams with 4x4 bedstripes if you wanted to mix the two.

but the ones for the srt4 are a bit smaller. the challenger and dakota have the exact dimensions. 2.5" x 2.35 or whatever. I know they have a wider selection for the srt 4 but oh well. Yes its 2 3m double sides adhesive strips. trust me, i measured it out and when i plastidipped my grill i finished it off with an emblem that fit perfectly in the indent. very satisfied
