Your car looks great man.....progression to be proud of! I had the chrome wheel look for a while, then chose a different route.....loving the staggered look!
As far as the hood, I've always liked the Charger SRT style hoods. It just fits that body style so well. But it has to be functionable, or it's no good....lol!

It's hard to go wrong with a staggered set up on any LX. I considered it but just couldn't find a wheel design that was still reasonably lightweight that I loved. I might go with staggered tire sizes when it's time for new tires, but I'm done wheel shopping with this car. I love the Alcoas.
I do really like the SRT8 hood but with SRT8 wheels I feel like it's going to look too much like an SRT8 and I don't want people to think it's one when it's just a lowly R/T lol. But the hood style does fit the car's design very well, even the new gen Chargers. Everyone and their mother has Viper reps and an SRT8 hood on their R/T so I'll probably go a different route just to be unique.

On my way home from work yesterday, I saw a bone stock 2009 Charger V6 roll by (same color) and the first thing that came to mind was this thread.
It's crazy, the smallest subtle changes makes the biggest difference. The Charger isn't a bad car to begin with (looks wise), but your ride in comparison makes that car look like a turd
Well done

Thank you sir! Your 300SRT8 looks amazing! I'd love to see more photos of it. What SC are you running on it? Procharger maybe? What kind of numbers are you getting?

I have the Paxton NOVI 1500 SC. My last dyno was 500 whp, but decided to put in a forged 6.1 with stage 2 cams. I also sent my sc back to Paxton to have it rebuilt. So right now breaking in the new motor before installing and retuning. I'm anxious to know how much extra hp it's going to put down.

Thanks man! I love the LX's! I think the biggest reason why I swap from TL to SRT8 is staggered wheels....lol!

Love the Paxon set up! I don't think I've ever seen one on an LX before. It seems almost all the SC set ups on the forums are Prochargers. A few are Magnusons. I really love the way the piping looks. Very trick. And 500hp at the wheels is awesome, with more on the way, very very jealous!

BTW your S2k is looking sick. I saw the recent photos you posted. White just looks so damn good on that car and the Enkei RPF1s look perfect on it.

There's nothing wrong with that! I do like the whine, but it'd probably get old after a while anyway. The fact a centrifugal works more like a turbo is a nice benefit, less constant stress on the engine I guess. Either way, whatever type of SC you go with, I'm sure it's a world of difference from NA to FI.

There is only one name in S/C for Mopars...
KENNE BELLE
Procharger, Magnuson, and Vortech can't hold a candle to them.
Oh..LX cars suck!!!

BTW I thought the same about now finding the right wheels until I found the ones I have now. I have the Rohanas RF2 20x9/20x11. They came out with these beginning of the year. They are forged and lightweight. How lightweight you mind be axin'? When I got them delivered, and was pulling the first one out the box, I almost threw it up in the air.....no kidding. If I wasn't in a rush to get them installed the same day, I would have had them weighted. But compared to the chromed stock wheels, they are much lighter.
They're the wrong bolt pattern and offset unfortunately.

Hate to say Ive never been a fan of the TA hood. Is it functional?

........Funny I came very close to buying some Rohana's second hand. They were staggered 20x9 20x10.5, but the guy sold them before I could even make an offer. I wanted to keep them under 30lbs a wheel. The Alcoa's weight 27lbs a piece, so way under my max.......

I think it is functional, as he posted a picture from below when Majofo asked a few pages back.
How about bolton adapters if the offset is at least 15MM too weak?
PS...
Love the hood...looks mean, and separates you from every other one on the road. Gotta get a roadrunner tattoo on your neck and a mullet now!

Thanks Majofo!
Different strokes for different folks. I'm not a fan of the sniper hood which I know you love. But it is a real ram air hood.
I'd be surprised if they are that light, but it's possible since they are forged. I do really like their wheel designs!
Thank you sir!
I'm not a big fan adapters. And gracias amigo! I've been working on the mullet for years. My old Yankee roots just won't allow it lol.
No need to apologize, again, we all have different taste. I gave you my honest opinion when you took your spoiler off lol. It's all good.
