Not a fan either of a lot of these paint choices. You should've saw the ones I DIDN'T take a picture of though.

Definitely agree. Check out my thread.

By the way, do you guys have the lower radiator baffle that you can take out like the 1st gen guys to increase air flow to the intake area? Might want to look into it.

I don't think so but I'll check it out. I'm trying to figure out a way to "force" the cold air up through that opening leading to the filter.

Removing it is supposed to allow a bunch of fresh air into the intake filter area. This is what mine looked like, held on with two push pins. The push pins were accessible through the front grill but I had to pull the wheel well inner liner out a bit to get it out. Just turned my steering wheel all the way to the left, didn't even take the drivers side wheel off to get to it.



Here's where I got the idea/info from.

Get a true CAI

Biggest reason I got the SRT front lip on my car was the ducting to the brakes...didnt install the ducting on the drivers side which sends fresh air straight to the filter of my SP Bullet

Decided to finally do something about these nasty looking rotors. Got tired of seeing the rusty center and off gray. Found some hi temp engine paint that matched the rims pretty good.

Before...after they were scrubbed clean, degreased, etc.


The finished product...






And while I was outside working UPS dropped off my next mod This will make a nice weekend project.

Thats cause the Chargers dont have it

SE and RT Challengers just have a basic solid front lip

Stock RT Lip


SRT Challengers have a slightly larger lip with inlets that duct to the brakes (392s have a different style, but same inlets)

SRT Lip

Interesting. Never heard of that one. And no it isn't a strut brace. I already have the strut brace.

Yup...so my CAI goes down towards the inlet on the drivers side...and I get fresh cold air sent right to the filter.

That box seem so thin, I dont know what....graphics?

Damnit...my first guess was going to be a lip...but I wasnt sure what was available aftermarket for your car.

I like everything but the logo on it.

Found what you were talking about once I had the bumper off. Took this out to let more air in. Thanks for the heads up

You have no idea. There was a guy at the last show who plasti dipped the passenger and driver's side red with what appeared to be one can and left the black paint showing down the middle. And he was touching it up in the parking lot
