Is the emblem real?
« on: May 20, 2008 - 03:33:06 PM »
Is the 426 Hemi emblem on this challenger stock or aftermarket?  It didn't look stock to me, but then again, I don't know much about Challengers.....hence the reason I ask the experts out there....

If we never drown we'll never know how well it tastes....So tell me how it tastes and I'll know just how well you drowned.

I would need a bigger shot to tell. I believe the shaker emblems were different than the non-shaker ones. Maybe they have the wrong one on there, but like I said I can't tell.

I bought a set of NOS emblems years ago and they look pretty much the same.

I am not positive of this but was told that rallye hood emblems have two mounting studs and the shaker emblems have three.
