« on: September 26, 2008 - 11:49:29 AM »
Hey guys, here it is.  '07 Magnum, 20,600 miles on it.  SXT 3.5.  Just signed my life away, lol.  Steel blue color.  I dont plan on modifying it much, just a couple visual things.  Maybe debadge the back, tint the tails, and some eyelid "tint" for the headlights.  I'll get some better pictures later.

Looks good  :2thumbs:

I remember the commercial when those came out.  It said something like "I want a family car that looks cool."

Holy crap I thought you died!  I was going to call you, but I lost your number.  Glad to see you back!  And no, havent really worked on my car.   :misbehaving:

Looks pretty sweet!   :thumbsup: Give us some more details, what MPG do you expect?

Well, Chrysler says 19/27, so I hope to average about 24, I have a light foot.  It has the 5 speed benz tranny in it, very smooth, and I love the autostick.  Thats when MPG drops.   :lol:

Steve,

  Put a go-wing spoiler on top.    :stirpot:

As soon as I see your new car...   :blah: :poopoke:

Thanks all, I really like the color.   :cheers:

That looks exactly like the car I rented during our summer vacation in Maryland this year.  I had the car for a week and really liked it.  I would definitely consider one of those or a charger for my next car.  :thumbsup:
