I've been sitting on this idea of taking the Dodge letters on my tailgate and spreading them across...kinda like the tailgates of the past with Chevrolet and Ford spelling the name out on the tailgate...Dodge used to do it with "Dodge Ram". Its different and I haven't seen it done in this fashion and it's been killing me to see the result. I experimented to see what it would look like, I'm a bit mixed so I thought I'd ask all of you. I tried not to bunch them up too much but also keep them from being to spread out, I eye balled it the best I could. Two of my best pics below. Thoughts? Thanks guys...

PS-I used an old clay bar to fix them to the gate. Plus if it didn't work out, I could easily purchase a new letter set to re-apply. Thanks again!

I like it. I like the first one. Makes me think of a modern version of that style.

At first I wasn't sure I liked the look, but after looking at it more I think it looks ok. I like #2 the best. The only thing is it kind of seems to me that the letters should be a little bigger to really make it look just right. But it is definitely different and you may even start a trend.

I agree. I would like the letters a tad bigger but the design of these letters aren't made any larger. I'm still sitting on the idea despite what i said earlier to make it a reality this weekend. I'll think about it some more and look at the pictures. I just like taking an old idea and putting a modern twist on it.
