    NZ,
    Do you still need pics?
    Those ones you found were correct.
    The only Challengers I have seen black above the tailights are T/A's. May or may not be correct but sure looks good with the spoiler.

    JS27 - All sorted mate.  :beer: (Thanks anyway)

    I've been in already with photos of my car before and with the photos on the previous page.  ;)
    They know it's flat black and they are going to remove the taillights and lightly sand the area that will become black.


    Goes right up to that little lip, correct? All they way around but within roughly 1/2" to 3/4" from the lenses themself.  :thumbs:

    Hey JS27...we have heard conflicting reports on the argent vs. black SE panel for a couple of years now.  When we went to re-do ours, we called Totally Auto and asked them.  They said the jury is still out.  There is no definitive answer, they've seen them (survivors) with both colors.  I tried to uncover the layers of paint on our panel...there were two.   One layer kind of flaking off (repaint), but the paint underneath it was black. No argent to be found.  I think its a case of ma mopar doing whatever she felt like doing at the time.

    NZ,
       I put a argent silver tail panel on my car. I like the look. I'm not sure if I would like black better or not, but I don't think you can go wrong.  :dontknow:

      All the SE cars, and cars that had the SE trim pkg I have seen had the argent colored mldng above the tail lights.

    Thanks JS, that's what I told my resto team to do and they agree'd thats where it would have been.

    Thanks mate, without you it would have been "chrome", wouldn't have bothered me though, I quite liked the look.  :)

    Here are some photos taken today. As I said before nothing major, just tyre change and the tail lights are in.
    They have been busy doing the usual everyday insurance work but are ploding along when they can.


    New rims and tyres are:

    Chrysler Rallye Wheels (From Jegs)

    Rear  - 275/60-15x8"
    Front - 245/60-15x7"



    Cheers,

    Hey Brett, welcome aboard. Many of our members use 235's as a front sizing and they fit easily.
    I chose 245's to make mine a more agressive sitting and "chunkier" view from all angles espeacially the front view.

    You should have no problem with you fit.
