I did not like the R/T stripes at first but they are starting to look better and better ...
Also, the lighter colors almost NEED something to break up the color. As big as the Challenger is, that is a lot of territory for the monochrome look.

Carbon: I saw the Challenger that ran (and crashed) in the One Lap of America. It was not an official factory white, so I can't say what the real stone white challenger will look like. That one was a little bit of an off white, and still looked awesome.

Hey Carbon,
I have to admit, I was not the one who snapped this pic. I found it somewhere (most likely on this forum somewhere). As I have stated several times, I'm really diggin the Stoned White exterior. However, all my so-called "friends" who know my infatuation with this car all too well, absolutely hate that color (Gay color, chick car color, boring, plain Jane, etc.). Ya know what? As crazy as this sounds, it makes me want white even more! After all, I'm the one shelling out the $32,380 for this beast, not them. Some days I don't know why I would even consider getting something other than HEMI Orange, but this is gonna be my daily driver (at least from May 1st thru December 1st...I live in New England) and I tend to think the Orange might be a bit too much on a daily basis. But then again, isn't excess what this car is all about in the first place?
Getting back to white - I honestly haven't heard one "non-enthusiast" embrace the color option...all I can say is what a pity. On a side note - like a few other posters have already stated, the R/T stripes are starting to grow on me now too. I was a "hater" at first, but I'm comin' around slowly but surely. Personally, my dream version would be the whited-out R/T, no moonroof, no stripes, 6-spd pistol grip, 20 inch aluminum chrome clad wheels and some tint on the windows. The vanity plate would read OA 5599 (think Vanishing Point). Seriously, how great would that be? [sm=hail.gif]

Albeeno,
where did you take a photo of that R/T?
is it's a production one?
looks killer and almost exactly what I want.
did you feel that the white was pure white or a bit creamy?
I looked at Stone White Chargers today and they look yellowish next to pure white cars.........8(
I hope they tweaked that paint a bit for the Challenger.
I can't do a dark color, I live in the San Fernando Valley and it's blazing hot out here.
and dark cars get too much L.A. Dust on them and look dirty way before light colored cars so white is the best way to go I think.
RoswellGrey, I also feel that something needs to break up all that white.
I might go with the side stripes from Rider Graphix to do that, but I'm starting to dig these stock strips now.
could use some strips in the lower back part of the doors too!
plus a Black Go Wing will be a must to also break up all that white
BTW......I sat in a Silver 08 today.......wow!! that front end is big, feels like my old 74 Monte Carlo.....heheh

RE: Option Questions:Hoping to order an 09 R/T tomorrow
Well I ordered the white one, but made the owner of the dealership agree to let me swap it for another color if I don't like it.
I kept seeing Graphite Chargers and Magnums all day long before I ordered thinking it was a sign to go that route.
That color looks good and mean but doesn't POP out like this car should.
White with some sort of Black Accents is the way to go!!
But I'll still have 2 days to decide once the car comes in to commit to it........8)
those Dodge Strips are starting to remind of under the eye stuff from football players or War Paint........hehehe
I might go for those in the end.
gonna try and get "VANISHING" or "V.POINT" for my plate........hehe

Nice!
I think even before I get the Go Wing that sucker it coming off and getting painted Black the first day.......8)
Will there be any kits to Black out the tail lights like see on some cars?
I'd like to get rid of all Red on the car, including the R/T logo on the grill.

The area immediately surrounding the tail lights is already blacked out.
Edit: Or are you talking about Black Lens covers?

RE: Option Questions:Hoping to order an 09 R/T tomorrow
That's the plan for my rear spoiler too. It's getting painted black on day one. The carbon hood stripes are already waiting at the dealership. That's the look I wanted since December 3rd and that's what I'm getting, only on my preferred color of Torred. Which R/T logo would fit best on the rear spoiler? Is something available from the classic mopars that would fit nice?
