Looks good. i like the polished rim, for an accent on the look, so the tires and wheels don't just blend in.

RE: 2009 'Cuda?
since we are trying to see how cheap we can get a quick, show-ready car on the street, we are keeping the wheels that came on the car...they are chrome cragars, but they are rough, so they are going to be sanded and painted...along with keeping costs down, i havent found a set of rims that i REALLY like...so i dont want to buy rims to get the car on the road, only to find something that we like more.

RE: 2009 'Cuda?
and you really think that people are going to turn their challenger into a "cuda" with some stripes and wheels?
im pretty sure that ive asked before, but maybe i didnt..what do you drive now? surely you have something to show for this company, such as previous vehicles that you have modified? if nothing else, at least your own car?
whose supercharger setup will you be using? what kind of boost do you plan to have your performance cudas run, with what kind of performance gains?

Patients Mirada.
All the details will come out October 31st.. We are in the process of finalizing everything.
Your comments, as well as many others, are going to make our Cuda much more than just "stripes and wheels". No opinions were ignored, we appreciated every comment, it helped us shape a better product layout.
This is a start up company created for the new Challenger. The people involved come from different career backgrounds, but are all major car enthusiasts, and have been their entire lives.
I drive a 2005 Hummer H2.
The details on the myspace page have changed dramatically. Everything was put there to create buzz and awareness, which it did, and now we are getting ready to release all the official information on the products we will be offering in 2008.
Thanks again for all the comments

What Im getting at, is that I couldnt imagine buying a car that is likely going to cost 40,000 with markup, if not without...and giving it to "major car enthusiasts" to have it painted and striped, without some example of your shops capacities. Ive never seen any shop that doesnt have some example of what they are capable of. The body shop next to my dads shop painted an original altered wheelbase car named "the yankee peddler"..a 1965 coronet with a heavily built hemi in it...the car sold at auction for over a million dollars. When someone comes in considering having their car redone, that is among the examples that they use.
My sponsor turns out dozens of 8-10 second hemi cars each summer, and gets top dollar to do so, and when someone is considering buying a bob george racing engine, he has at least 40 examples of his work. even my car has proven to be an example, having been in mopar muscle and mopar collectors guide, although it is the slowest in the stable, but the rest of the group is running 500" wedge motors or hemis, where i am running a low compression small block.
ive seen "billboard stripes" on a neon...these are offered by many vinyl companies, and ive seen some people have them painted on...im just curious what youre using as an example for your expertise, or as a basis for comparison for those who are going to hand you their 40,000+ dollar car for dress up and suspension work.

There are a lot of details that will come out October 31st that will answer hopefully every question you've had today. There are some details I could discuss today, but we've decided to finalize all our plans and release them on October 31st, the week of SEMA.
