With the popularity of the Challenger concept what aftermarket products do you think will be available? Here is the list that I have composed:

Perfromance

Functional butterfly hood
Functional shaker hood
Carbon fiber pieces
Intakes
Quad exhaust
Hemi crate engines
Superchargers
New ECU's
Performance headers
Suspension upgrades (Air ride, springs)
Brakes

Apperance

Decals (www.ridergraphix.com have some for the charger, ram and avenger nice ones too)
Gas-cap conversion (if all models dont have one)
Rallye wheels
Different grills
Different lights
Different handles
Cuda kit
T/A kit
Spoilers


Interior
pistol shifters
Seats (like the concept assuming they cheapen the interior to keep costs low)

Perfromance

Functional butterfly hood
Functional shaker hood
Intakes
Quad exhaust
Hemi crate engines
Superchargers
New ECU's
Performance headers
Suspension upgrades (Air ride, springs)
Brakes


Any other suggestions?

Someone mentioned mod chips! I love that...mod chips for your Xbox...mod chips for your Chally.....it's all chips these days...used to be ball bearings....

JJMPB

yea your gonna need a chip to cancel out the rev limiter to get to 174 mph

how about retro pedistal mout spioler with instalation and positioning kit.
comp. program to load in labtop to plug in and totaly set the car peramiters up to your specs.
chips are good for plug in and play but some guys like to do there own detailing. Somthing not flash detectable or leaves a footprint.
If they run the coolent threw the thottle body like some other cars out there how about a throttle body by-pass kit. I did it on my 04 GTO didn't make a big diffrence but enough to justify doing it.

Plug and play chips will work for a majority of customers I think. They are usually well tested and safe. I have worked with high power turbo imports previously and the full stand alone engine management systems allow lots of tunability, but also there are more possibilities for pitfalls and engine damage for the novice tuner.

As for the thread topic, since I am an old school Mopar gearhead, I would like to see the following aftermarket parts:

Aftermarket Shaker hood
Tubular header kit
Full 3" dual exhaust with Flowmasters
Supercharger kit (preferably twin screw whipple charger)
R/T side stripe kit
Bumblebee rear stripe kit
Suspension kit (for drag or lowering for increased cornering ability)
Go-Wing rear spoiler
Maybe a T/A Challenger retro kit with fiberglass hood and side exit exhaust

I dont know how the decals would look on a production challenger, but here are some of a charger:

I am going to update the list, thanks

I really like the look of those!

Of the ones mentioned this is what I want:

Apperance

pistol shifters - I want my with Pachymr grip that feels like a SIG
Different grills - depends on the design
Different lights- rear lights with LED's
A little chrome underneath the hood would be cool.
Replace all black hoses with stainless steel braided hoses.

Spoilers - a another retro one might be a possibility

Performance

Functional butterfly hood - these are supposed to be functional already to the throttle body unlike the charger and I am very much assuming that.

Quad exhaust - just take a piece of divider metal and it will look like the original then slip it off when you want.
superchargers or turbo charger - certainly a possibility
New ECU's - sue why not
Performance headers
Suspension upgrades - Air Ride Technology here we come
Brakes - make them 6 piston with low dust pads and larger rotors

Yeah, that lime green one is hot, the black one isn't bad either. I would love to see what they can do with a coupe like the challenger.
