^ hahaha it was a long process trying to find the "perfect" look that I wanted, these fit the bill, and we're actually very inexpensive. I have to admit Centerline were excellent for pricing and they custom build to order. so not bad.

great thing I have a wonderful wife who shares my love for the car.

Hey Canadiancanuk keep going and good luck--I'm sure it'll look great when you're done,well come to think of it we are never done. I've been working on mine this winter with helpful ideas from Kramtrah,BLK5060 and others from the site. I'm also working on performance on a budget.no blowers or anything that fancy.

the only thing I have been searching for all morning is for functional scoops for the T/A Hood. They are solid plastic much like the scoopos are on teh SE/SXT hoods, and that's an easy swap to the fucntional SRT8 scoops. But there isn't anything for the T/A hood.

the hood is officially on, although seeing it in it's unfinished form, I have to say I'm liking the "oldschool" original look more and more.

the scoop will have to be a flat clearcoat, but all in all she looks good, A bit dissappointed that Mopar took away the "functional" aspects of it for reasons unknown, but the hood does look good, and I will be making it a "functional hood". Pics will be posted tonight.
