I replaced the wheels with Boss 338's. I also added the R/T and Hemi badges on the rear. I also added an R/T to the front of the hood. I was thinking about a predator tuner but the more I think the more I am leaning away from it. I don't want to put the warranty in jeopardy. I would like to add the sill plates though. I almost forgot.....since my car didn't have a compass in it I added a mirror from a 02 Chevy pick-up and got my compass.

I'm planning to keep our SRT-8 stock.  It's an 08 Limited Edition and as much as I'd like to do performance mods, I just don't want to mess with it and lower the value down the road.  :dunno:

Since mine is an S/E, it's getting the maximum mod package.   :grinyes:

My B5 SRT will always remain mostly stock. I will probably add a fresh air kit and very little else. I love the way the car looks now, no reason to change wheels or add stripes at this point. If anything, I may put the Challenger classic emblems on the fenders, not sure yet.

I believe that I'm going to put 70 stripes on the sides, solid black out on the hood, and the rear spoiler will get some treatment

Difference is...I'm going to paint this stuff on, and my stripe color is going to be a dark charcoal pearl (on silver car)
