09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
Just got my 09 SRT8 :) Yay!
I thought the hood stripes past 08 were going to be just flat black. Mine are carbon fiber. Do all 09 srt8s come with the carbon fiber stripes? -todd |

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
It's kinda nice in a way having a new car that will not look dated the second year. There will be no way to tell an 08 from an 09 if it is orange, black or silver........
However, I would have liked Chrysler to have made some small change to make the "limited Edition" 08 different from the 09s (other than the dash plate) |

Do all 09 srt8s come with the carbon fiber stripes? -todd Lets see... there was the "exclusivity" of Hemi Orange for 08s... but then they continued for 09 anyway. Then there was the "exclusivity" of Carbon Fiber Stripes for 08s... but then they continued for 09 anyway. Then there was the "exclusivity" of the Numbered Badge Plaque for 08s... have you checked to see if there is a number on the dash plaque on yours todd..?? :eek: |
RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
I thought they were supposed to be exclusive to the 08. Didn't somebody try to order aftermarket carbon stripes for an 09 and get told that they had to prove they had an 08 to get them?

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
The fact that's it's an 08 says it all. If you're still around in 20 years or so, or sooner if Chrysler/Dodge goes away, we'll see who takes the big money at the car auction. The 1971's never come close to the money a 1970 brings and same rule will apply for the 2008 vs 2009 and Craig Jackson of Barret Jackson, along with Jay Leno have both stated so. Why do you think they got 2008's. Being first counts because no remembers who was second. IMVHO..

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
Wait! There's a historical note about the carbon stripes! ;)

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
^agreed.
Some people say 6400 cars is a lot , but not when a good portion of them is owned by celeberties !! Tons of 08's were auctioned for Charity and all in all i'd say under 50% of the 08's are owned by regular guys like us. |
RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
There are still 24 08 on EPay

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
Hey Bro, when did you order yours? Auto or 6 sp? My SRT (auto) was ordered on 5/29 and has been in the JB neverland since 9/22 :(. Spoke with my dealer today and also the fine agents in customer service (sure, whatever) all with the same info I have....at least my dealer is attentive and looking for answers but we are unclear as to what it going on, sighhhhhhhhhhh!
Anyway, a big congrats to you, enjoy THE CAR and the grin as Mopar2ya says. Ill be there someday, just an unknown as to when. |
RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
Did you happen to ask if the dealer can get any info from the regional manager, Mark. Might be worth a shot seeing how long the delay has been. |
RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
Who knows, if the GM thing happens, there may actually be less '09's in certain colors that may make them more rare. Either way, I for one am not banking on any of these being the 70 Hemi cuda 20+ years from now. Heck, what will they run on...lettuce :D

RE: 09 SRT8 Hood Stripes
I didn't expect that this would generate such a long thread :)
I love the car. Its insane. I had NO idea it would be this fast. I fell in love with it at the detroit auto show... years later - she is mine! I'll post some pics, I'm kind of busy driving around right now though! I'm used to driving a pick up, or jeeps (still have my jeep!) so this is a HUGE change for me. My favorite part? I had ordered an 08 from a dealer I had worked with before (bought a pick up from them - my first new car). We worked out a deal (I didn't have it in paper, but he said he didn't have final pricing yet). So, out of trust, I didn't really mind. I went to finalize and they tacked $6K onto the price!!! I was told that "It is what the market will bear". Yea.... So, my favorite was driving up in my 09 to that dealership 2 months later. My previous is order is still on the lot. So much for what the market will bear. Love it. Just love it. Even when I don't drive it, I go in the garage to look at it :) Did I mention it was fast? WOW! -todd |
