I don't think a sticker will fit since the logo is molded into the cap.
I guess I could use some type of putty and make is smooth, but that
seemed like a lot of work and I thought I could sell the caps to some
ford freak.

I tried the caps from a mid 80 Mopar on them and the diameter seemed to
fit, but the spring clips are too short to fit the depth of the thicker
aluminum rims.  Also tried the Magnum 500 caps but the centering device
is too small in diameter.

Regards,
Ken

Hi Ken, I'll be looking to get rid of the Donkey logo myself.  Figured 
I'd just find a mopar sticker and put it on there, or maybe paint 
something.  
The brake kit is from AR Engineering in Portland, OR.  
www.arengineering.com   They've been written up in a couple magazines 
and the stuff is very nice.  Couple different ways to go.  Early Viper 
kit with B body rotors, you can keep the 15" wheels.  But I chose the 
larger 13" rotors and late model Viper calipers.
