I only had a few minutes to work on the car today as it ended up being a bad day and I spent most of the day in various doctor's offices. Between appointments I was able to get my new DC CS2 strut bars on. I was thinking of getting them PC'ed silver and trying to find Mopar plates for them, but I kinda figure screw it. The gunmetal will match my wheels nicely.
Brand new DC CS2 bars
Pic of my new Mopar battery
New front strut bar installed.
New rear strut bar installed.
I've been driving with the winter wheels I sat it on for storage still. They have a very knobby pattern and are pretty damn loud. The Drags will be back on soon.
Also, I noticed as of yesterday when I have the headlights on and I put the right turn signal on the fog light indicator (and fog lights) flicker.. I assume the MFS shit the bed and I need to get a new one.
More suspension mods should be on the car soon. I have to install...
-Hotchkis sway bars
-Mopar/SPC adjustable rear control arms
-Prothane LCA bushings.

Thanks Kyle. They'll be back on soon. I'm gonna miss the height though. I'd love to have coils and set them to this height with the taller tires on em. It looks perfect to me in person. Looks like a bigger gap in the pics due to the wheel offset being 40, and the wheels sticking in.

haha thanks guys. Only thing I disagree with is Steven.. I really don't think the cudas look horrible at all.. They're staying. At least until the hood gets painted silver. Otherwise the black hood will just look out of place. Also, I agree it looks much better without the SRT wing. If I still had it then I'd be a TOTAL poser. Yes, the hood is getting painted silver eventually which is why the eyelids are still silver. I'd take em off but why bother ruining then when they will just go back on? Time and money, folks.
I still love the 03 front + lip, but I get bored. I've rocked it since '08. Time to change it up for a bit. When I get bored with this setup I'll swap back to the 03 front + lip... i didn't sell it.
No boosty for this car yet, but once I get a job and get coilovers I will start looking for a swap/donor car to swap this car. Again, just time and money.

WINNNNN
I really wanted to comment first, since Ryan told me when he was putting these on and uploading, but I was eating fixin' the garage.
Ryan, those bumpers look mint! Sorry about the hood damage It really pulls the Cudas together though, so I'm not complaining. I'm glad that bumper finally got all the accessories it needed. Toss on some coils and save for swap. I'll help with either install.
Now, that being said, git yer ass up here already, in THIS car, all colormatched or not. Win-win-win. Win.

^NO. R/T skirts ftw. I'm kinda not likin SRT skirts. They're fine on SRTs but If I had my choice, I think I like the R/T style better. It breaks up the boxiness they add to the side of the car.
Thanks Adam. I'll see what I can do aboot visting. I need to get it inspected first and all back together. I'm nervous driving it with only one bolt holding the sway bar on on either side. I need to get that fixed first.

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid
