LOL! True. I also prefer the stock look, but are you saying you wouldn't want to add something simple like a drop in performance air filter for the mild upgrade in power & performance which doesn't permanently change as car like some of these other mods do?

 

Step 1: Replace the ugly block-letter Challenger logos with complete 1970-style badging.
Step 2: Replace any oversize, pimpmobile-looking rims with (at max) 16-inch Rallye-style wheels.
Step 3: White-letter Goodyear tires. If none available, invest in a supply of white tire chalk.

 

Thanks for the correction, keeping it stock was not on my mind when I made the poll, I should have put it on originally. It should now have the none-i like mine stock as an option.

 

I would put some brushed aluminum on my engine, but I wouldn't classify that as a performance part, nor exterior, nor interior.

 

I might modify the exhaust depending on what it sounds like from the factory. I like the way the concept sounds with those FlowMasters.

It will get a Supercharger, no doubt!! I'd like to get it installed before I take delivery if I can.

 

I am not a big bling person either ( I live in Louisiana, the birthplace of jazz...and [sm=bling.gif] we have it worse down here), but I think a few modifications can make a car unique. A new shifter, maybe a little pinstriping, or even adding your favorite dice or boble doll makes your car different. But unless I have to get the chally like I want it (5.7 hemi, 5 speed, the color I finally pick) I will probably make some aesthetic modifications, making sure to stay close to original spirit of the car while still making it my own.

 

You bet...Take a look at valuations of collectible cars. The most sought after are those left as is. I am certain in 30 years this car will be a classic. Now, throw a bunch of after market stuff in and you detract from that (I think).

It is a free country & you all enjoy modding 'em if you like. Just not my thing. I am a purist.

 

This is the way I feel also and if they come out with a kit to replace sections of the interior with the wood look and shifters that look more like the originals then I would be very happy.

 

I understand that perfectly, I just don't see how switching from a paper air filter to a cotton-gause in the stock air filter box would hurt that value since it could always replace the original filter latter in the box.

Like I said I don't intend to do anything else different except now that I have heard others suggest this, I would probably switch to those classic looking Challenger rims that aren't as big. If I want to sell it some day, I will keep the 20 inch rims with the original tires to sell it with. Good luck to you on your investment.

 

I would rather keep it bone stock.

If I'm paying big bucks for this updated classic, I want it to be stock. I believe what Mike Castiglione has designed needs no further embellishment...........except for the possiblity of Goodyear white letter tires.

However, I wouldn't consider the addition of white letter tires to be a modification.....just a completion of 70's era muscle car.

Just a wee bit of nostalgia to bring us all back 30 years.[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]
