    hey Guys I just saw MEK and his new Challenger, MEK was coming out of the gym looking a swole up after throwing some weights around the gym. I caught his car out of the corner of my eye and said "hey thats got to be MEK-Dangerfield's car. Sure enough it was.

    Great looking ride MEK

    Joe,

      Nice meeting you.  :wave:  I'm glad you didn't want to race me in your R/T.   :scared:

    OK,

     I have been throwing aftermarket stuff at the new car. New door sill plates, chrome T-shifter knob, rear spoiler, soon to be accents around the dash vents. Today was a Biggie though. A new grill...

    I didn't like the plastic egg-crate theme. I replaced it with a grill that matched the louvers on top of the hood. I think it's a cleaner look. This is the before and after pics.

    Your opinions??  Yey or Ney, I can take it.   :wave:

    Not bad there Mike.............I like the extra badging and such.  I still say the factory messed up and didn't offer enough striping and such.   Where is the fender script and the pentastar???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    I don't think the factory messed by not offering more striping  - gives guys like me a creative outlet and helps bring a little coin into the budget    :cheers:

    Very nice looking grill, Mike.   :thumbsup:

    Are the hood vents functional on your car?

    Are you going to think about wheels?  Call me weird/cheap, but I've seen some Dodge Ram pick ups with rims that look similar to Challenger rims.  I wonder if they'll fit?  Might be able to get them used.  :dunno:

    Hi Mike,  I like the billet grilles and they do look nice on your ride buddy.   I only wish you put the side longitudinal stripe like a 70, but hey  :bananasmi it is your car and you do what you like :2thumbs:

    Ken,

      The nice thing about stripes is, they can easily be changed in the future.   :naughty:
