Default Custom Tailgate Emblem

Does anyone know if somebody offers a ram emblem for our tailgates that isn't all chrome? I originally had debadged my tailgate and left just the chrome emblem in the middle, but later realized it looked silly sitting there all alone and chrome. I was thinking about putting an emblem back though to give the gate some definition, but I wanted one that was predominantly black with chrome accents around the edges of the head perhaps, or something belong those lines. I'm also thinking about putting the exhaust underneath the bumper with some 45 degree slash cut rolled edge tips to give the rear end better oomph than what it has now. Thanks!

I put the 09 one on mine after I painted it black.

I know the '09 is different than my '05 one was, but what exactly is the specific difference, is it the size, right? Also, what did you use to paint it with? Is there a reason you didn't paint it with a high gloss? Or did you want it to have some contrast to your paint?

The 09 is huge and it also has Dodge on the top of it. I did used gloss black paint I got from Lowes. Its just the angle of the pic.
