So originally I was thinking orange up top with black along the bottom. Now I am thinking of something a little more personal. I would say original, but now that it's on the rebound, my thing is a little more popular. Let me know what yall think. BTW, I was a transformers fan before the new movies. I have crates of them packed away as proof XD

I say no, but a cool alternative would be paint your car with chalkboard paint then you could buy a bucket of sidewalk chalk and change on a daily basis.

Nope, there is a guy around here with a sentra or some other little shit box. white with a big black decepticon emblem on the hood. gay as hell. don't do decals, they suck(my opinion)

Sorry to burst your bubble... but its been done before. Just Google for "Transformers car decal" and you'll see plenty of examples. Though I hate orange, your original idea of orange on top and black on the bottom was much better.

Well I have a gf and she likes the idea so thats not an issue Indy. And I know it's been done before, but not alot since the new movies. You people have no idea how obsessed I was with transformers lol. Plus I am a total nerd/dork which is why I even thought of it in the first place.

if you really want the logo, do it small (like 1"x1") someplace out of the way, like the bottom corner of the tail gate or bumper. No transformer showed it's allegiance with a decal that large and obvious. The point was to blend in, not stick out.

I agree. Maybe a Autobot or Decepticon hood emblem instead of the dodge ram emblem.

I would suggest not to do something that you will more then likely regret later down the line.
You will be like us all. We all do something like that.
Few years from now you will say why did I do that.
If you really want to put those symbols on your truck you might think of some sort of temporary idea. Maybe a magnetic version of it. So you can remove or put it on when you want?
Or maybe something small. Its not like your are getting sponsored by Transformers. Do something small but don't go overboard.
Just an idea I am throwing out there.

if your going to to do the logo just replace the ram badges with an autobot one..... subtle, tasteful, and very 1986.

That decal is so big and in-your-face. If you want to show off your love of the Transformers, why not do it in a more subtle way? Maybe you can find that symbol as a small emblem and replace that Dodge hood emblem with one? You could remove the badging and replace it with whatever text you want; maybe replacing the "Dakota slt" door badge with "Autobot", "Decepticon", or maybe some other word that only a true Transformers fan would recognize.
