The springs settled a bit more because now I'm just barely scraping a speed bump in my neighborhood . Nothing major, just a black piece under the front lip that hangs abnormally lower for some reason. Probably just take it off if it starts to bother me.

Nice ride! Not sure if you noticed the springs settle but they won't lower the car too much or the ADS light will come on.
Not sure if you looked at chargerforumz.com but that is the best Charger forum to me. I'm on lxforums, chargerforums and 300Cforums but none compare to the z forum.

I believe the factory black "stripe" is painted on, not a piece that you can switch.

That is just the air dam, not sure why but it's only on the Chargers. I used to scrape the heck out of mine.

I didn't want the car to be slammed so hopefully it'll stay the way it sits now. I'll have to check out that forum also.

Thanks man. I didn't really notice much of a difference. I mainly did it so I wouldn't have to keep replacing the paper filter over and over again.

Not at the moment. Maybe some spacers. Was looking at getting the Dodge Viper wheel in a machine finish but every other Charger has those wheels so I decided to stick with the stockies for now.

Nice ass car. The red from the brakes and the marking upfront compliment the color perfectly. I know some people love to mod, but I'd leave it as is. The hood contour looks crazy in the head on pic.

Just make you do some research...Dodge suspensions and spacer usually arent a good combo.

Wow man you saved me more money + a headache. In that case I might just go with a wider wheel. Maybe at least a 10.5 or 11 in the rear. Maybe when I get tired of the stock wheels.

The Viper wheels on an older Charger. Still looks good but pretty common.

I actually like the stock SRT wheels. The SRT wheels from the last gen charger would look great as well.

Sadly, yes the Viper wheels are played out....chargers, magnums, and challengers...too many out there.

Looks to euro to me personally. I'd have to see a pic photoshopped.

Gotcha. I was just asking because I purchased the same one for my TSX, but I wasn't expecting much of a difference anyways.... was just curious. Lol


Viper wheels would look bad ass!

I like the Vipers but think they look much better on the previous year Chargers.

I like these wheels but can't afford them.

Those aren't bad either. It'll be a while before I decide on something.

Hee hee...Jon is in my club....VERY talented artist/graphic designer...He does comics but he is also paid to do a lot of concept rendering for the mags and companies....actually this current issue of car and driver has his concept rendering of the next gen mustang on the cover.

I've watched that car go from the unique paint scheme under the wrap to its current look.

I LOVE the wheels he got. We had talked because at one point he knew I wanted dark bronze wheel for my car (my design plans have since changed) and he went gold, but yeah they look bronze in the photo...His car always gets the comments online and at shows.

They are supposed to be gold...either way, I freaking LOVE them.

It is a good looking car, although I prefer the more raised up version in the pic UA6 posted.

Its a beautiful Challenger. Has yours changed any? Any thoughts on how they would look with a slight wheel gap?
