Challenger on tail light?

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket tail light that says Challenger instead of Dodge? Or can the letters be removed?

Re: Challenger on tail light?

Don't know, but if you want to keep the car somewhat retro, why remove the 70's-style Dodge emblem?

Re: Challenger on tail light?

I don't really care about it looking retro. I think it would look better with Challenger on the back end, instead of Dodge. And it might cut down on people pulling up next to me on the freeway asking what kind of car it is.

Lol, yeah I haven't gotten vanity plates yet but I have something different in mind for when I do.

Re: Challenger on tail light?

Well in CA I'm able to go online and buy my plates. I bought them about a month ago and there at the DMV waiting for me but they said I can't just take and hold them... They said I need to provide a VIN..

Go to the DMV website for your state and look around a bit.

Re: Challenger on tail light?

you can always get your plates and assign them to a junker and then transfer them when you get a VIN. I have my V8 HEMI plate assigned to a 77 Ford F-150.

I would have to pay another 30 or 40 bucks to transfer the plates
