Drill a large-large hole in the C-pillar, fill said hole with Plexi-Glass problem solved and weight reduced!

Maybe work some kind of hand crank for making the Plexi-Glass go up and down.

Portholes! Hey, what a great idea! Just like those T-birds of the early 70s. Now all you have to do is slap a landau roof on it and you're good to go...

But to do a landau roof properly, it HAS to have a heart-shaped rear window, which kinda defeats the purpose of improving the sightlines.

I'm begging all of you to please adjust your right side mirror out a little more and to pratice using it as much as you can because I'm a really old fart and have to be extra carefull driving and seeing is so important. Most of all I don't want to see any Challenger owner bang up thier car or damage it in anyway much less hurt themselves or anyone else. I agree that there is a huge blindspot but if I can over come it by using and practicing with my mirrors then I know you all can!!!

Paladin if you don't mind I'd like to ask a question? Since Tinted windows are outlawed in NJ can you tell me what windows you tinted and what degree of window tinting you used? In NJ you can tint " Back side " and " Rear " windows in no more than 35 % black or smoke tint so thats why I'm asking to see what yours look like to compare to whats allowed here. Thanks for any info you can post, Fat Cat[sm=gears.gif]

I tinted CRUSH shortly after it was delivered. My wife said tinting the windows made the car even more sexy and you know I like hearing that.

Had my windows tinted 35% (all side windows and rear window). Had limo tint on my old ’84 Monte Carlo SS and finally got stopped after driving it for a few years and had to remove it. I find 35% tint works great and makes the Challenger look even better.

On the subject of mirrors....perhaps some people need to mount the "oversided" hang on type, that people use when towing a trailer......just a thought....
