I thought I would post for any pictures of little additions that make your Rebel different from all the rest! Mine being all Black with the blackout package, I thought it needed to stay with that theme ! The last picture is a tribute to old Mopars of the past! 20230106_103805.jpg

Here are a few things I did to mine. The red lettering, IMO, is a little to red, but it can be changed. I've changed all of my speakers to Infinity's is the reason for the speaker grill badging. I tried to find the original Infinity badges from an early 2000s Dodge Ram door panel but there are none to be had.

Tool box and bed rack system for bikes and kayaks. Not really a personalized thing, more a functional thing, but still makes it a bit different.

Probably the look from head on for me. Took all the badges off and did color match the hood piece as well. Tinted the tail lights, bed light and turn signals as well. Also had it pinstriped to top it off!!

What brand did you use for the 1500 hemi 5.7 labels?
I am on my third set on vinal from reflectiveconcepts.
They always bubble a few months after installing and look terrible

Reflective Concepts is who I used. I've had them on there for two years with no problems so far.

What is your trick? My first batch bubbled inside after 2 months of being on. They sent me a replacement batch and those bubbled also.
It was clean and I used alcohol to clean the surface before applying it each time. It also doesn't sit in the sun.
The ones for my rear taillights never bubbled (and those are in direct sunlight)

Like you said, I cleaned everything really well with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. On the 5.7L Hemi on the hood I used a tooth pick to help place and press the letters down to help them adhere better. After that I used a Q-Tip to press the letters down. I then waited about a week before I washed the truck.

Good luck with them if you try it again!

I did the same thing. So odd
The company claimed gas was escaping from the plastic in my parts and there was nothing I could do except reapply them :( maybe I'll try it again in the summer after my truck has its 1 year birthday

That is weird!
One other thing I did was wait until my garage was around 70° before I put them on. Maybe temperature has something to do with it?

I put them on when it was like 75 degrees, back in the summer.
Front badge, hood, and rear taillights. Only the rear taillights stayed good.

Maybe there is some truth to gas coming up from the plastic since it was a brand new truck when I got it.
