It's just a decal you put on over the regular emblem. I took the decal off. I prefer the stock dodge one. Here's a link to the place's ebay store they have a few choices.

that truck is beautiful I wish I could get mine to even somewhat resemble yours. I think the finishing touch on it though would be some smoked out cab lights and not the regular 5 you'd need 9 or something just to be different from every one else.

that's something to consider. Right now I'm in the middle of a center console project for it and still waiting to put on my flowmaster 40's

looks good! did your bumber and grille come painted black or did you paint it to match the truck? Also, the 3" lift from TGC is that a rough country kit or did you piece it together?

My front end was originally chrome. I replaced the grille and the metal part of the bumper not all the plastics. I bought a black grille and metal. And repainted the plastics which were all faded grey. The lift is TGC lift. When your looking at their lifts they have other brands and their own. But the shocks and the steering stabilizer are rough country.

I really dig that front end and interestingly enough I am in the process of doing the same thing to my 01 1500! I actually stumbled on your thread as I searched for that topic. Can you tell me where you bought the parts to replace the chrome? I have the same chrome grille and chrome parts on the bumper that I want to black out. Lastly where did you buy the headlight cover?
Thanks and nice job with the truck

Thanks. AS for the bumpers and grille I have to ask my grandfather he ordered them. Ebay if I has to take a guess. As for the headlights, they aren't covers they are headlights. Worst things I ever bought. Couldn't see a thing at night, the stockers are in there now.
