I am trying to find a post on how to remove the dodge lettering so I can apply the tint kit.
I just warm the individual letters up with a hair dryer then used thin tip pliers to grab the letter and pull them off. Pro-tip DO NOT WIGGLE it when pulling the letter off.. keep warming it and just keep pulling until the glue releases and pull straight off.. Again do not wiggle it. On my 392 I wiggled one letter a bit scuffed the clear.. on my hellcat charger I knew how to do it and did this method again worked perfectly.

My cat is satin black with red lettering accents. I had the dodge on the trunk painted red, along with the cat's heads red, calipers red, engine accented red and black in areas. it looks great. Just ordered the louves for the back quarter winders to match the back wind shield louvers to match the back in the day 70s. I will have painted again front , back spiler, louvers, repained again satin black. I had them painted satin from the factory but with the adjacent back windshield louver and now quarter winders louvers come in different shades. I am going to have them all painted the same. Maybe touch up the engine while I am at it. It is red and black. Just enough red to cut the black. Like the plastic fuel covers and the plastic box covers. The K & N CAI tube is red. Just why I am not married. Now comes the 275 HP upgrade performance. Yea Ha.

Left mine alone on the charger. Black on black. Very subtle. Now personally I thought it was fine. Not into the whole ass end of the car decals and things like that. Glad there is something like that for those that like it though, just not for me.

There, I fixed it for you.

I've heard of those. Heavy, costly, fragile things that can leak, right?
Although, there are times when an escape hatch can come in handy.

Left my lettering on for two reasons.

1) Dodge has been bold brash and in your face going back to wild cartoon characters and high impact colors since the
late 60s, why not continue the back at you, against the grain, in ya face, defiant theme? Now the car has matured with
a blend of modern class but still raw in ya face. I feel the letters are appropriate.

2) A lot of what I grew up with is starting to evaporate ie: Plymouth, Pontiac, Mercury. Dodge did an excellent job keeping the
Muscle car alive while others have transformed into, well let’s just say it and get it out there”Transformer like robot
Styling” hence the description transformed. Now they want to remove the SRT branding as we know it. ”F.U.” Cold day in
HELL those letters come off intentionally. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest having those letters announced out back as
that’s where 99.9% of the public on the road will get to view the letters.

I also think it is cool for others to remove them for a clean look if that’s your bag, just not mine for reasons stated above. I suppose it also ushers in variety. Imagine if everyone had the same car, same color, so I do try to be open minded.

On another note, it‘s very ironic that I am in the process of buying DODGE lettering for my next project car. 1969 DODGE Coronet R/T. They were like hens teeth trying to find them. Almost impossible to find good used lettering, and who would want to part with them on a finished car, they weren’t reproduced up till fairly recently. Problem solved.

If I weren't proud to own a Dodge, I wouldn't have purchased one. Why would I want to remove it? I'm not a fan of piano black paneling on anything. The lettering helps to add depth and contrast. Mine are black, but I assume my 2022 SP will have chrome lettering.

The deck lid Charger logo is omitted on the Chargers with the factory CF stripes.

The one on the taillights is gone on mine, if that's what you're talking about and it does have the carbon fiber stripes.

What I'd like to see, is a return to the carbon fiber strips that were used on the 2008 - 2010 SRT8. I'm not a fan of applied graphics, but those early stripes look phenomenal.

No. I am talking about the Charger name plate on the left side of the deck lid. It is omitted on Chargers with the factory stripes.
