Unfortunately, no. This year's mod money got spent on house-related items back in April and May. And I'm the boring guy who sticks to the plan, so I won't divert money from "good/responsible" uses to car mods. I'm still going to pick up a grille and remove the spoiler, though.

And just for the heck of it, while the Charger was parked out front so I could paint in the garage I noticed how perfect the light was showing the metallic sheen. I'm always trying to capture it in photos but it's hard to do but it was nice lighting today.

They're JBA titanium coated shorty headers. Got them for a steal off of fleeBay. Brand new.

Lol yeah long tubes are nice but I don't want to deal with emissions and all that jazz.

I know. I'm probably just going to pay to have them installed. Getting them for a good deal helps offset the install cost I guess.

Unfortunately, this is also the conclusion I came to regarding headers. I'm 50/50 there on the suspension, too.

She's already tinted, so she's been playing you on that one, but she's being honest about wanting to be lowered. She's been whispering that to me for the past few months, too.

I for one liked the black on the trunk

But lowering would certainly make up for it

You really are a west coast giant douche.

I liked it too for a while, but in certain settings it just looked like an afterthought. Same with the spoiler and grill, so that's why I peeled the plasti dip off of those.

Seems like lowering it is in order though. Maybe next year. I'll probably just get an Eiback Pro Kit and call it a day.

Ok, I'm gonna say it. Too low. I'm an old man. A 2" drop is about perfect for me.
