Does anyone reproduce the dodge hood letters? I see NOS letters on eBay now for $295.00 Yikes!

if you are not concerned about originality, check out the "DODGE" letter that go on the back of a 09 Dodge Caliber. I was looking at the back of my wife's car yesterday and notice that those letters are pretty close in size to the ones on a Challenger hood. Kind a modern flare perhaps. they are stick on I am sure and they are individual, so they could work.

So here is what the letters look like and their size, I also have a couple of the originals. The Caliber letters are about 3/4" tall whereas the originals are 1.75", so there is definitely a difference, however I would get some and lay them on there and see how you like them. I do not believe they cost all that much. Or I would take a tape measure and go and visit a Dodge dealer and start looking at cars to see if there are some more to your liking.

I think I saw some at his shop the last time I was there.  His prices are more than fair.

Roseville was out of the letter D . Brads NOS had 2 sets left . I got one . $170.00  Probably would cost that much if you could get them rechromed

They have a satin brush finish so chrome wouldn't look right...
