My truck already has Viper center caps, hood emblem, and steering wheel emblem. I also shaved all the "DODGE and RAM" emblems along with getting it color matched. The only "Goats" left on the truck were the ones on the floor mats, which I hated looking at every time I opened a door. I don't like the LLoyds Viper logo floor mats because the logos are too big. IMO they look like an add on and I like things to look stock. I noticed SRT 10 Viper hood emblems have similar dimensions to the "Goat" emblems on the floor mats. I removed the floor mat emblems, grinded them until they were flush, installed my Viper hood emblems on top of the "Goat" emblems and reinstalled them. New LLoyds floor mats are $140, I just spent $200 for some emblems that are going to be getting stepped on....:dontknow:

Nice touch
 
That's thinking out of the box, I like it. Is this what the factory mats look like in the standard color trucks? The YF's have way cooler mats ;)
 
Thanks guys. I had the idea for about two weeks before deciding to pull the trigger.
 
Great mod... good idea... im sure this questions been over-asked but why would dodge back in 04-06 not give give this truck AT LEAST 1 viper logo!
 
I honestly don't like any of the aftermarket floor mats, they remind me of something you would buy at AutoZone. I don't think it's advertising any more than stock. What I like is that if I don't point any emblems out they go unnoticed. The center caps are chrome, hood/steering wheel emblems are the same color as stock and the floor mats are under you. When I need new floor mats I will just buy another stock pair and swap the emblems over. The Dodge/Ram "advertisements" have been removed. Hell I'm the guy that made this thread:

Damn... in that pic your shifter looks really low!!! How the hell do you shift that? Nice touch on the mats.
 
I just installed that this week. It's a near new X-Metal Gen 1 with the stock handle shortened 2 3/8," redrilled, and turned to angle towards the driver. I love it, it shifts like a car inatead of a truck now. I'm 5'8" and I can reach it fine I just have to have the center console up now to be "comfortable." The angle in the stock handle is what allowed me to have it so short. The chrome X-Metal "SRT 10" handle is in the for sale section.
 
I have an 06 and could never get away with it, my console is totally different.

That's what I payed extra to avoid.
