Awaiting arrival of my new nose badge. It will be the new Dodge logo (two red diagonals) on a plain black background.

I have no big objection to the ram emblem, but I think the custom badge will look better - a nice, clean, straightforward graphic. The red will also go with my red R/T and HEMI badges.

Okay, I must be out of the loop or have been living under a rock but what exactly is a "FRATZOG"? That one is a mystery to me, a picture might help. Thanks in advance!
Doozle. :scratchhead:

I didn't know either so I googled it.....here it is ......http://www.monaco500.co.uk/150px-Fratzog.jpg

Not a big fan of the Ram's head emblem, but it doesn't bother me enough to replace it.

It does remind me of the RAM truck, but it's not real high on my list. I may get a black Mopar "M" if I do anything. It will match my shifter knob.

Might as well post this and see how many more inquiries I get on where I got mine. Send a PM. I think this was my 2nd mod. First was the chrome fuel door. Now I'm thinking I should remove the FUEL and put on one of these to copy the Mopar 10 look. I have one for my steering wheel, but I don't know If I want the red in the cabin. Ok, I'm too afraid to remove the steering wheel. If I had any nads, I'd invest the $25-30 for the Dodge wheel caps. If I find a deal on Classic wheels, I'll do that then.

nose badge

I removed mine but only for a differnt look. I installed a POW/MIA nose badge on mine and I love it!!

I considered that as well. I remember the Fratzog being on the door panels of my '72. But when I looked at it I was reminded of a Polara and not a Challenger. I guess to me the Fratzog is 60's. The pentastar was 70's.

Actually, per Allpar: Dodge logos and hood ornaments Dodge used the three-delta, rocket-like Dodge emblem called a FRATZOG (so named by the designer because "it had to be called something.") from 62 to 76 (the muscle car era) and the Pentastar did not get put on Dodge car exteriors until 82, when Iacocca gave the order.

Hence, the FRATZOG is the correct retro hood ornament, if you're trying to go as retro as possible.

You made a fine choice. It will look good on your steering wheel. I have my decal for my steering wheel to match the nose, but too nervous to take off the wheel.

Thanks for the info. allpar is incorrect. I know my '72 had the Fratzog but not on the exterior. They also had the pentastar on the outside too. Check the passenger side lower front fender on all V8 cars from Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth in that era. My choice had to do with how the two emblems made me feel. After all it is my car, I can mess up the history and retro if it feels right to me.

I did it on my SE with no problems. Just have faith and be swift! Itll pop right out, and the broken studs will fall out of the steering wheel...eventually, lol.

The small gold pentastar was always on the lower RIGHT fender between the door and wheel well. ((Right side = passenger side, Left side = Drivers side))

Which meant it was a curbside emblem (and not a hood ornament) indicating it was a Chrysler Corporation product. I think GM was doing that awhile back, but stopped after GM became associated with "Gov't Motors."

It's your car, do what you want. I'm just sayin...

 

[DAHBOOM]

I wasn't down with the Rams head. Fits better on a truck in my opinion. Here's my badge I got at Springfest.

 

[SilverFox]

Yes, because I wanted to make it my own with the help of Billet Technologies.

 

[Sparkman #3372]

Mine was removed for me two days ago. I found it on the floor of the parking garage at work in two pieces unbroken. Whoever took it off did me a favor but now I have to decide what to replace it with, I'm leaning toward Rebadge Design but IDK...

Dumped all Rams heads,went with the Fratzog on the nose and steering wheel and 2011 Dodge center wheel caps.The landfill now has a few more ounces of plastic...
