Is your plate actually "black cars" or is that some tricky photoshop work?


Ahhh, I was waiting for someone to notice that  ;) ;)
I edited out the original  backward plate and inserted the "BLACK CARS" plate - thought it would be cool.

Thanks for the accolades guys. The reflection pic was a first attempt at it. I hope to get a more professional looking one in the future. Can't really see the shaker hood in that one. I do like the angle though.

Love that GTX with the white stripe  :2thumbs: :2thumbs: Looks a lot like mine  ;)

Sorry Triple Black, the reflection threw me off .
Wow, gold interior, that's unusual, with a gold stripe no less.
Were those factory options? Didn't know you could get a gold stripe.
I love the odd/rare and unusual options you could get on a Mopar.
That's one reason I love them so much.

Mine should have a white stripe, but it just looks too mean without it, and the factory steelies.
I love the look, so it shall stay as is... ;D
Not to mention the overstock 440 with headers and 3" exhaust.
She's got the show and go, ya know ( sorry couldn't resist the rhyme :rofl:

No worries, the photo didn't show the gold refelective strip to well, yes both factory options, interior and stripe, TX9 440 N96.  The black steelies are next for sure.   Yours is perfect.....all business.   :thumbsup:

I've come to the conclusion that TBh & MONC have exactly the same tastes as me. :grinyes: Steelies are BLOODY boomers!! Can't wait to see mine on. I'll be showing my white writing just to give it the racer look vs the sleeper look. I think my sleeper look will be out the window if I didn't show the writing, the Billboards starting with "H" will give the car away lol. L-o-n-g road ahead for me but this thread gives me hope!.............and drooling problems.  :icon16:

EXCELLENT options there sir ! :2thumbs: 
Steelies are DEFINITELY the way to go, both my black cars came with them from the factory.
All "business" is an on point description, I like that.

NZ - Great minds think alike, right? :ylsuper:

Just wondering, do you guys like fender chrome or no?

I'm debating this myself.

FOr sure I'm wanting to go w/matching black mirrors; I really don't like chrome mirrors on e-bodies.

Hey NZ, you're going to go w/rubber bumpers?  I sure want to.

Good question rag top. I don't think I will be. I'll definitely be doing the blacked out body colour grille and body colour mirrors. Not sure on the rocker gills yet. They're quite an eye catching item. I'm not sure if that is a good eye catcher or a distraction eye catcher, looks more stealth without it and gives a lower appearance to the car IMO as with it, it's showing the rake and height of the car more easily, if that made sense. I quite like the chrome bumper, breaks up the black just a touch and gives it some class. I think (for me anyhow) it would be just too much black or overkill with everything blacked out.
