I was searching through my photobucket and decided to show the 2 year transformation of my Charger. I love these threads, but didn't want to start one in case it already existed. Enjoy! :D

I didn't like direction the "bling stage" was taking it, but you turned around and went for what you're calling the "mean look". I don't know what I'd call it, but it looks MUCH better now. Good job, I don't like chargers much but that does look pretty sick!

Thanks everyone. I am always up for snapping a few pics of my car, just need to get the front bumper touched up next week.

Yeah I was into big rims and chrome when I got the car; I had an Escalade before it. I quickly changed my mind on what I wanted to do to it.

That was you I saw down by the Varsity about a month ago wasn't it? I was on my home from SDR and drove by a lot of imports and I am pretty sure you. Got stuck in traffic bc of that wreck right past the Varsty.

Do I get a multi-quote option with more posts? Bc I look ridiculous posting 3 times in a row on my own thread.

Yup I live in windward; I workout at the lifetime on northpoint.

oh did you drive by my Rx-7 on 285 just bfore spaghetti junction (about AT the chamblee tucker exit # 38) about a week ago?(or even notice me) I saw a clean light bluish green GTO and I THINK that's what you drive. Just wondering. If it was you you were FLYING well above 90 (my speedo doesn't work but I was at 3750 RPM in 5th which is close to 85) and you passed me like I was sitting still.

Well as someone who usually doesn't like them (I like the OPs) they are a bit boxy, large, and don't really seem fit for the name Charger. Given the fact that the old Chargers are nice long 2 door muscle cars and this charger platform is a 300C with an aggressive body. I mean, they're nice cars, but they usually make me wish Dodge had taken the Charger the same direction they took the Challenger. I really do like the one in this thread though. The 22s make the brakes look a little small, and spending the money on larger brakes wouldn't really be worht the look it gives, although the better braking might be nice. That the car is badass as it is though.

Yeah she is a heavy bitch, but with a procharger and some DRs I will be in the low 11s. Not too bad for a 4400 lb car.

They're just seem too big to be sporty. Kinda like a bus. But to each his own, I'm glad you like them. I still really like the OP's car. :goodjob:

Thanks! It is a big bitch, if I had the chance to do it again I would have been a C5 Z06. At the time I was into big rims and flashy cars, so the charger was gonna be that project. Fortunately, I found out these could be made decently fast and I am switching my focus to performance.

The black wheels really set it off!! The SRT8 Charger is about the 1 of only a few american cars I would rock.
