Nice addition to go w/ the mirror covers, IMO would look best w/ just the logo on the trunk, and it's so much easier to detail without all those letters.

U should go concave front and back. I'm surprised more people don't do that

Now that's a full plate, especially topping it of w/ a full wrap. Keep us posted, hopefully after moving to Cal you'll still have money left over

No need for a square setup. 255/35R20+38 FR, 305/30R20 +55 rear. No issue with the VDC. Dropped on coilovers, but the rear will need to divorced. True coilover rears won't fit the 11'' wheels....

Also, it may be blasphemy, but the 2015 Challenger SRT brakes are killer; but you definitely need 20" wheels for the 390mm FR rotors.

Forgot to take pics, but this weekend I installed and upgraded to the IPL rear sway bar. Huge difference in handling, the car handles so much better with turns now.

Well, I successfully shipped the car from New York to California! Upon delivery, my windshield was cracked, so I had to get that replaced
I picked up a carbon fiber diffuser and added that on as well







Coming soon is a Z1 brake upgrade

Glad you got it shipped, hopefully you didn't have to pay for the new glass.

Heres a little update:

I did a custom exhaust system, deleting my two axle back mufflers and doing two 2.5" diameter straight pipes from the resonators back. The sound is a lot louder, but quiet when I want it to be. Substantial increase in acceleration and throttle response as well. My downshifts sound amazing. This is a dual exhaust, only 1 pipe is shown in the photo. This honestly sounds better than my friend's G37 Sedan with HFC's and a catback. It really sounds deep, aggressive, but not crackled as I left the resonators.



I also purchased new brake! Z1-Motorsports non-sport brake upgrade kit with slotted, drilled rotors, stainless steel brake lines, and posi-quiet ceramic pads. This will be installed this week, stay tuned!
