No, Joe, by putting the script badge on the driver's -- or correct -- side, we True Americans are merely correcting a mistake made at the Canadian factory. It probably has something to do with Canada's use of the metric system and the badge location specifications being mistranslated to the wrong side of the car.

And as to the badges on the fenders, they're optional if you have side stripes with the word Challenger cut out of them in script. Also, the badges must be mounted ABOVE the fender bend, not below. Being below incorrectly pays homage to the 1971 model. While the '71 was a fine car, it is not the legendary 1970 model. If you're going to honor the '71 model, then the script grille badge is completely inappropriate. You have to have a grille badge mounted on the driver's side that says Dodge.

I hope this clears up any questions on this matter.
