Sounds as if your wife has pretty much the same attitude as mine....she feels that the Challenger looks great the way it is, so why add (in many cases expensive) additional dress up items. It really comes down to the personal tastes of the owner and what they are hoping to achieve in regards to the "end-product". Since day one when I parked my new 2008 Challenger SRT8 in the garage I have tried to add little details that "highlight" the original design, not change it. If I was looking to make major changes, I would then question whether I purchased the correct auto. But, (and it's a very big but) I am a "car guy" and like most all car guys I am never really happy with the basic package. The temptation to change and add things to make it better than stock is to great. The secret is to know "when enough is enough", and when one more thing is too much. When I attend car shows I find that it's the "clean" cars that really stand out, not what we use to call the "Cal Custom" specials. (Many of the older members will remember the huge Cal Custom" sections at your local K-mart or auto parts stores.....with such products as the Surfer Gas Petal, Chrome Door Lock Pulls, etc, etc). It really is to easy to get carried away with add-ons to the point where your car is just a bunch of parts thrown together, and not a completed package where everything tries together. This is where "pre-planning" and having a set goal come into play....know what look you are trying to achieve and then go for it, and don't worry about what others feel....because in the big picture....it's your car and you have to live with it. [Just my two cents]
