Default RE: emblems

I like the retro script type emblems as they just seem to suit the Challenger better than the new grille emblem Dodge used. I ordered the 1970 Challenger grille emblem but find that there was no way to get my hand behind the grille to attach the mounting nuts. So I exchanged the emblem for one of the stick on fender type which I mounted in place of the factory emblem and believe me, it's not going to fall off. The stock Challenger emblem comes right off with a little careful pull.
I have mounted the 1970 Challenger emblems on my front fenders as well as many others have and I think they look great. Since I have a Black Challenger, the emblems breakup the black color a bit and they have a real factory look to them. In fact the Factory will be mounting the same emblems on the retro B5 later in the year.
I do like the grille without emblems as well, but since I paid for an SRT...I want people to know it's an SRT.
It's easy to get many good ideas by just looking at 1970 Challengers, since all their emblems are available from different vendors..just shop around before buying as prices vary greatly..
If you do it right most people will think it's factory...
