Maybe you'll find a "buy one, get one free" deal. ;)

Ebay has them, the grill that is. For a girl there's Craigslist! Lol :puke:

Engine bling is starting to take shape...

1. Just installed the pcm cover (left it black for now...) Made some cool little hooks to help hold nice and tight, along with 3m double sided tape.

2. Also, finished painting, and attached the engine cover back plates (waiting for it to dry... tik-tok-tik-tok :) Picture is a little peek.

Engine half covers are installed. Put an 1/8" plexi glass between the backplates and the cutouts, to give the letters more depth and shine.

There's vehicles in those photo's....strange I don't see them. :)

Could always do something like this every time you show your engine bay....

Works every time.

That is a good idea.

I am going with Red accents, so I would need something like this:

Procharger = Best Engine Bling Award :)

I really like this image... been wondering if there is a way I can get it on my VaraRam cover? Vinyl, airbrush..?

Silly??

Seeing how it is basically a "line drawing" it would be easy to convert to a vinyl stick on graphic. Have the lines black/red or any other color you wanted.

An airbrush artist could probably step it up a bit, but I would guess it'd be more costly. You might check around the R/C hobby shops. Those guys buy bodies for their little cars/trucks all the time and have them custom painted. I had a buddy that was sick into it and had $5k+ in some of his R/C's. His airbrush guy only charged him like $25/each to paint them up.

All that being said, I personally wouldn't want to push the Hellcat logo on my truck unless I had the motor to back it up. And while I really like my Ram, it's not a supercharged 10 second bad ass car.

Good info thanks! I did not realize that is the Hellcat logo. I found it on a tattoo site! Lol

Damn it! I just came to the conclusion that my catch can does not look good in the satin finish.
It's gotta go, and it needs to be replaced with red... :Stupid Me:
