People are never happy with what they have...........we see pics of old challengers and cudas customized and we shudder at what the owners were thinking  :clueless:and now this.....i have to laugh. I am so happy they made the new Challenger I could cry, I wouldn't be crying if I could afford one though :bigsmile:

Nice look for the front if you want it to cudachally. Wonder if they will change out the rear lights too. Too bad Ma Mopar doesn't just release a cuda based on a simlar design.

We all may be able to get a new one if the price keeps falling. they are down to 45,000 on Ebay now. The dealers are finally letting them go for close to sticker.   :smilielol:

trust me I work for a chrysler dealership and inventory is s top priority. To much frozen capitol will kill a dealer. If the Dodge dealers are still holding out for the overage. the will probably loose out. Now that the 2009 variety models are on the ground.

Very cool grill!  :grinyes:  Looks a bit different.  For the stand out type of guy.

I wonder if they make a grill for the '71s also.  I know they have repros but just curious.

The new challenger front end resembles a cuda more than a challenger just because it has a header panel.
I have an extra broken '71 cuda grille in the basement. I might have to create a grille that can be installed without altering the original grille or mounts.

Not that it looks bad but I never have been a fan of taking a car and trying to make it look like something its not. Kinda like taking a 300M and putting a Rolls-Royce front end on it. Whats the point??!!

I'm reserving judgement untill I see the finished product, but I like what I'm seeing so far with the grille.
