help me decide how to build my next challenger!

i keep running ideas thru my head and i cant decide without a doubt.

heres the deal. my 09 r/t is a lemon (orange) so its being replaced by chrysler and now im just waiting for my 2010 to be built.
i already ordered it..its a fully loaded 28J R/T in white,with navagation and no sun roof same chrome 20's i have on my 09.
i decided to keep the auto...honestly a 6speed isnt that big a deal now that ive drivin my 09 auto stick.

so anyway..heres the 3 diff ways i am thinking of building it but i cant make up my mind for sure.

either:
1) white with gold stripes,and gold face wheels with chrome lip
2) white with T/A hood and gold stripes (like the blue/black pic) again gold face chrome lip wheels.
3)white with flat black T/A hood,spoiler,side stripes and wheels/chrome lip


pics for reference:




here is the wheels i *want* to buy(but the $4K price might take a while):

either black face or gold face.

I voted 3, but I'm not a fan of wheels with a chrome lip.

But it's your car, do what makes you happy.

ive concidered doing a white lip,but im afraid of the paint chipping from mounting tires cause most places are careless.

If I went white I would do hurst style with the gold stripes.

I was just reading in car and driver or one of the mags that supposedly 2010 will bring the SRT8 in Plum Crazy...which would be awesome.

I have been looking like crazy for a damned 6pd RT in black...I'm still waiting to hear if there are even going to really be 2010 models.

What happened to make yours a lemon?

I dont love the B5 blue in person...which is pictured...the deep water blue is actually very nice.

but black is still the best, white comes in 2nd.

well i was going to order the plum crazy,but its going to be a late availability color, not just a srt option. chrysler wouldnt let me wait any longer to place my order for my new car so i had to jump on the white, orange is no longer.

good luck finding ANY 09 challengers at a dealer,honestly.

mine has an ignition/stalling problem with the push button/antennas. they couldnt fix the problem,so they are replacing my car cause it stalls and is a safety issue..

i voted #2 but it might have been b/c of that blue color. but that hood is badass too.

i do love white tho (see username).

for the record, #1 is my second option, very classic paint scheme. and #3 is last for me.

^they must still be asking 5-10K over msrp, or be in a broke neighborhood.

otherwise it makes no sense.

If I order new then I have to get 0% which isnt an option.

I'm looking for lightly used and I found two before I left LA for a TV show...but both guys couldnt wait the month for me to get back.

White/Gold Chally > White/Black

Hurst really nailed the color scheme with that one.

#1.
The T/A hood scoop will block some forward vision, and both the scoop and flat black hood over-emphasize the bulk of the Challenger.

#2 is my favorite, but I'd have a body-color hood with flat black stripes. then #1. I don't like #3 that much, I think flat black hoods look ghetto. They remind me too much of the Civics and Integras I see around here all the time with primered hoods. I actually like #1 a lot but it looks just like any other R/T or SRT8, just with stripes.

With the white paint, I say gold stripes and the H logo, #1. But I would have a smaller logo. That one seems too big. Maybe a small one on the rear trunk lid only.

But you should get some "lightning rods" so it looks like the Hurst (or the T-shifter).

If the Hurst colors are going to be on a Hurst, that's one thing. But don't do a look-alike.

I like #3. Black isn't that hard to make look good, especially with some Quick Detailer.

I vote #3. IMO, I think if the gold fades even just a bit, it will look like crap. And that pic just looks badass.
