So far this is my favorite pic of the new baby. Then the first pic of the Charger that was posted. I can't wait for some nice weather were I can really take some good pics of her.

Jason - Tint is planned for, a new grill is being thought about, and new rims will be well into the future. We won't be lowering it, or doing any major mods to it. The car is way too comfortable to mess with it's suspension, and the 340ish hp is enough to keep us satisfied for awhile.

Couldn't of put it better myself. Tint and some form of grill will probably be on within the next few months. Other then that some black faced rims will be put on well into the future.

When it comes to the grill I'm having a hard time deciding, it won't be billet or chrome mesh or any of that garbage though. It will be some combo of the stock grill and the daytona grill.

Also, I'm having a hard time deciding on whether or not I should debadge it. Cassi says no because she really likes the r/t and hemi badges, and I tend to lean towards this as well because I'm proud of having the r/t and the hemi badges actually look good. However, on the other hand I've always loved the cleanliness of a debadged car.

Go with a Strut grill when you get a new one.

The Hemi badges are sweet. I would at least leave those on there. Hell, when I debadged my truck, I actually bought some Hemi badges from an '06 Charger to replace the ugly ones that came on it. If you're getting black rims, then the new grill should be black as well. That's my two cents.

Black + Silver = the shit. Then again...I don't have to tell Chris that.

OH, BTW...when it's broken in and all, we should line the Hemis up and see how my 4700lb truck does against the new Charger. My only advantage is that I'm not completely stock (although very close). It could be fun.

Yikes... 200 more horses than our lowly stock Neons. THAT will be my next car, if all goes as planned. That is... if they're still making chargers by the time this neon is paid off.

It's pretty fast, though, the charger has the better tranny in the charger/magnum body styles. The Charger's tranny is designed by the germans, where as the magnum is a domestic deisgn.

As of right now the plan is to completely debadge the car. The grill I'm going to go with is the Daytona R/T grill. Black crosshairs, black honeycomb inserts, and the red R/T badge in the grill.

Tint will be done by the end of this coming week.

I really miss having HIDs. That may have to be something that happens within the next couple of months.
