Default need some new bedstripe ideas

Those who know me and are friends on facebook, are already aware that my dakota was wrecked recently and was headed to the body shop...
Well, it's due to be out of the body shop sometime this week/next week...

They had to put a new bedside on, so my custom stripe is gone... they are compensating me for a replacement, but I have decided to go a different direction than the current stripe.

I am looking for some suggestions/ideas for a new stripe.

for those who dont know me (since I havent really posted in a while...)

here is what the truck/stripe look like...

To be honest, I have contemplated something sort of like this...

but I am open to some ideas...

Any thoughts?

Its a little rough, but you could extend the bottom part to match the shape of the door:

I am thinking of putting the SLT in the same area as Mr Norm has his text. I am thinking the stripes ending at the rear door would look pretty good. May try some things when I get to my computer.

Thanks though. Its starting my brain gears. (Been a while. Lol)

Yeah I don't like it coming past the rear passenger doors, it only comes to the driver door on the Ram because it isn't a quad cab. I think the SLT looks better than just a ram head or "V8" althought the Mopar M would look good too.

Once I get the truck back, i will get some measurements and find a sign shop... it wont be long before whatever I do is on. I will keep you guys updated.

(I need to find someone who is good with photoshop... I have a few ideas I want to see before I start spraying paint everywhere... lol)

I have a white truck as well and have been trying to think of a design that could break up all that white.
