You need to add "none" as a choice. I would not put anything on it if the car looks like the concept. I like stock cars...clean and original. Nothing looks worse in my view than loading a great car up with to much stupid looking bling.

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.

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?

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

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).

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.

RE: First modification to your 2008 Challenger
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]
