This happened to posted on my facebook this morning...same color but with the black grille part for comparisons sake.

Personally, I like this look more, but I certainly wouldnt kick either out of bed. Love them all.

Reminds me of the Evo X too much but either way both are nice. I don't think it cost too much to switch it back and forth.

Picked up a drop in K&N filter for now until I decide to get the cold air intake or not.




Some interior shots I took today.


Heated and cooled cupholders...one of my favorite options


Heated/Cooled seats, heated steering wheel, sport/track mode transmission and more stiff suspension.


A few of the gauge temps.


0-60 and 1/4 mile time and speed log. Haven't gotten to log any times yet




My steering wheel that Steve loves so much.


Volume and track select buttons on back. Theres some on the other side too. Very good placement IMO.

That's hot-love the steering wheel. That flat bottomed steering wheel says "exotic" to me...

I honestly dont think you'll want a CAI...the SRT engineers did a pretty damn good job with the stock intake.

I've some of the challenger guys who tried intakes and went back to stock. Do some research.

yeah.. most modern intakes, especially in that category have very good flow.. Plus the gains from foam filters is not worth the poor filtration.

I'm out of the loop.... heated steering wheels I knew about, but heated/cooled cupholders too?!? That's cool.

All they need now is a ventilated steering wheel.... I'd be in love.

Wow, the cup holders and time slip are pretty cool. Congrats on the car!

I drove a rental charger for a month or so and I was surprised at how nice it drove. Of course mine wasn't nearly as nice as yours but in a light silver, that car scared people on the highway if I came up quick behind them.

Holy cow that interior is awesome! I had no idea it was that nice. And the heated/cooled seats are controlled by the nav screen? Far out.

Pretty much it. It's kind of an odd sensation, IMO.

I've only experienced them once in a Lincoln MKZ or something. Worked great for swamp ass.

Only reason I'd want leather is if it came with ventilated seats, it's a great combo. Once the seat cools down, it stays cool. As Todd said, no more swamp ass as well as no more shirt sticking to your back, sticking to your seat.

You get used to them, and they are a godsend on long road trips. Pair them with shorts = sweetjesus.jpg

That will be good for a nice drop and still keeping a cushy ride.

Only looking at a 19mm drop with these but they work with the internal damping system and sport/track modes.

Before the drop.




Front.




Rear.


The final product. 19mm drop up front and a 12mm drop in the rear. The ride quality feels the same. A very slight difference from stock height but it will have to do.
