I've got a little less than 400 miles on my car. The Ram's head moves slightly from side to side but not as much as you are saying, just barely perceptible. No movement up or down.

It is only held on with 3 tape. If you are lucky it will fall off.

When it does, replace it with a Billet Technology emblem. I intend to replace the ugly rams' head with a Billet SRT emblem.

Do you have a pic of what you are talking about... The ram is held on by tape ?? so if I think a bird just flow over my hood its probably a ram? It would be fun if some one could make anything you wanted ...

The hell with that eyesore anyways. Once I get my car, I plan on taking it off, and having it filled in. I am still waiting for someone to put the "DODGE" on the front like a classic Challenger. Myself though, I think I might paint that bit in front of the hood flat black to match my T/A style flat black hood. just mulling around ideas at this point though

If it is like the Charger the front ram is bolted on, which would explain the moving. The tape or glue wouldn't slide side to side and up and down without fall off. I would have the dealer look at it.

I have seen a video of a guy changing out the Charger badge which was bolted, but if you press on the badge and move it around it feels like it is taped with some of that spongy double stick mounting tape.
