I got rid of my "DODGE" & dealer sticker on the tailgate soon after I got my truck.
Still don't know about the Dakota & SLT on the doors.

I just recently took off all my badges , I also was debating about it , as mine is an `02 black QC 4WD SLT. It is all black and chrome and I kind of liked the chrome badges on the sides , but they always looked crooked...I guess because of the body lines in the door.They were level , just looked slanted.
Anyway , I think it looks much better with them off too.

CrzyBri82 the gibson exhaust is great. I have the dual cat back. Its not too loud in the cab like a flowmaster would be...but it has a good rumble to it. My buddy has a flowmaster on his 02 dak...he likes it but he said it sometimes too loud in the cab...but i guess it up to the owner really...let me know what u settle for.

`01 and newer Dakotas no longer have badges that let you know what`s under the hood.

I removed all my decals and I think it looks a lot better. I'll like it even more when I get my Patriot Blue fender flares. I just can't bring myself to spend money on too much cosmetic stuff right now. I'm at a 2-cylinder disadvantage. =) Money is needed for more power!

Brian, What I was planning on doing for my V-8 badges is to replace them with hood embloms from a late 90's DodgeNeon. The neon's came with embloms matching the color of the car and there about half the size of the one on our hoods. Perfect to cover up the holes and its a personal touch to boot.

Hope this helps??

Whats wrong with a little bondo?? My other car loves tha stuff, LOL
