I picked up some of these from Lowe's in the sizes I needed. I forget the actual sizes, but there were two different ones. Sealed with silicone, and easily removed whenever I get around to patching the holes. I've seen where some people even paint them body color with their touch up paint if they don't have a black car.

I think the intake/strut bar really spice up the engine bay. And spoilerless is a huge improvement.

I'm not a fan of spoilers. In fact, that's the only thing I didn't like with the early Gen 2 SRT Chargers. It would have been my first mod. I would still love to own one and was pretty close to doing so before getting the V.

I am a fan of trunk lid / lip spoilers though. When I saw the '15 face and ass updates.. I was 50/50 on how I felt on the face (I liked it, but still liked the older face as well).. but(t) I was all in on the ass (ASSMAN).

Possibly a lip spoiler??

Btw.. what issues did you have with the hood? I must have missed it.

If they make a CSL looking spoiler for that thing, it'll look fantastic. I also don't like trunk spoilers anymore.

Nope, not gonna do it. Not yet at least. I'm still feeling it out.

There really weren't any huge issues with it other than some small ripples that appeared over time under the paint. It was more about looking too aggressive for what the car is. If I was going to stick with the original plan of supercharging it I'd probably keep it, but since I'm not I'm going more low key.

There's very few lip spoiler options out there. Danko Reproductions makes one that I don't hate, but I'm not in love with it either so unless I come across one that I really like I'll either go spoilerless or put the one I have back on.

The switch back to the original hood was a good idea, IMO.

I'm undecided on the trunk spoiler, however.

Here's the Danko rear one piece lip spoiler with the painted tails. This is my favorite one I've found so far. IDK does it seem a little too tall for a lip spoiler?

I like the lip spoiler & like the spoiler-less look over the wing, surprisingly.
Lip > Bare > Wing. IMO

Bigger is better, from what I hear.

That's my order as right now, too. I might take the graphics off too if I keep it spoiler-less.

I think if you were to slam it with some serious wheels or something...you would not need all the other flare.

I prefer it with the stripe compared to the bare look on the white one with the lip.

Well see Brian over there has 37 pieces of flair. I only have 15. It's the bare minimum.

Yeah I agree, stripe w/lip spoiler, but if I go no spoiler I may get rid of the stripe.

The guy I sold my old hood to already installed it. He drove almost 7 hours each way and couldn't wait to put it on when he got home. He's planning on building and supercharging his so it looks perfect on it.

I see plenty of clean R/T Magnums selling for less than $10k. I saw one recently with 100k and needed just a little TLC, but for $5.5K. You could have an 11 second wagon for ~10k.

He said they tinted them way too dark so the shop is going to sand them down lighter. If you're referring to the halos, well, to each their own. They're color changing so not always red. I'm personally not a huge fan of them but by no means do I think they look terrible.

I wish I had room for a project car, but now that I avoided divorce from giving up the supercharger idea, I won't have an extra parking space in the garage for a toy.

Yeah, I meant the halos. But, it's a matter of preference.

Mine can change color, as well. They always stay white.

Honestly the cost of either repairing the holes or getting a new trunk kid are the biggest deciding factors. So you will not receive credit for the spoiler going back on you west coast giant douche lol.

I was actually shocked to learn that spoilers provide the force by being drawn down due to the vacuum the negative pressure creates and not because of the wind force being pushed down on top.
