I love the pedals. Had tough time with the break cover so I had dealer do that one. Slipped him $20. He had a tough time, too. But the look is worth it!

Agreed and as a matter of fact, I'm heading outside now to finish it up and take a look at the grill badge to see how much of pain that will be to install. I'm hoping the tabs and click tabs will be aligned but I'm seriously doubting my efforts will find that much ease. Oh well, part of "mod fever" I suppose.

I had the same hopes as you when I got my Mopar badge. But I am afraid the tabs dont line up. You will see what I am talking about when you get the old one off. Don't sweat it though, once you pull the factory grille badge off, just clip the tabs off the Mopar emblem with some snips to get it flat and apply some 3M tape to the back of it. Install it on the flat spot where the factory Dodge emblem was. The 3M tape will hold it on there forever.
I was nervous taking the old one off but in the end I just twisted and pulled gently and the tabs in the back of it split and it came off.
It is worth the effort as it is a subtle upgrade, but a cool one that gets noticed.

Neglected to check back in sooner so thanks for the advice. I did end up keeping the two top tabs on the MOPAR emblem intact and just stuck them in the slots where the old emblem mounted...one side I had to shave down a little bit but figured it would be worth it to have that extra "hold". I then coated the tabs and the back part of the MOPAR badge (in the areas that lined up with the flat portion of the grill covered by the DODGE badge) with RTV adhesive. Worked like a charm and hopefully as good as the 3M tape would have. So far no issues...looks great too!

Thanks again!
