Love those wheels! Centerlines huh? What model/name? 20"? With all the wheel choices out there, I have been most interested in the Centerlines for their reputation, their manufacturing process for building light-weight, strong wheels, and that they are made in the USA (not somewhere in Asia).
The T/A hood really compliments the car. Will you be keeping the hood in a traditional flat black? Now all you need is the magaphone pipes sticking out in front of the rear wheels!

^ hahahaha I had centerlines on my old ranger, and they are still on the truck to this very day (1994), but I'll be shooting the hood with the matte black look, the nose will be done as well to really have that old school look, hood pins getting drilled as well,
I was looking at exhaust options and I do like that hidden rocker panel look like the G5 but more molded into teh rocker panels.
But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
for now, paint, lowering, and a few little features are it for this season.

I have always loved those scoops. Dodge is finally offering them when you order the car instead of aftermarket for the last couple of years.
Best wishes on your project.

Your car is going to be sweet when done. Those are nice wheels but whats with the tires? They look kind of funky. Ha Ha You can't go wrong with a T/A hood. This one will suck in large amounts of air.
